BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

What to know

Expect players to steal queens and defend their own. Explain those effects before play so losing a queen does not come as a surprise. The publisher mentions arithmetic and memory; that describes what the game uses, not a measured learning benefit.

Learning the rules

There are a few card actions to learn, all serving the goal of waking and keeping queens.

Planning your time

Allow extra time to set up, explain the rules, and pack away.
