Sleeping Queens 2: The Rescue! (EN)

The queens have a new mission: rescue the kings. Sleeping Queens 2: The Rescue! returns to the playful card world of the original with fresh powers and a new objective. Everyone works on their own rescue plan while keeping an eye on rivals who may reach the kings first.

Players use cards to collect helpful characters and progress towards the rescue. Familiar faces return alongside new cards that can interrupt a plan or create a timely advantage. Watching what others have collected helps you decide which card to play and when to hold a useful power.

The race is not simply about drawing the right card. You need to create opportunities with the cards you have, respond when an opponent changes the situation and judge when to commit to a move toward a king. The light fantasy theme gives each action an easy-to-follow purpose for younger players.

This standalone sequel suits families that enjoy quick turns, colourful characters and a dash of tactical surprise. You can play it without knowing the first Sleeping Queens, though returning fans will recognize the cast. Its short length makes another rescue attempt easy to fit into game night.
