About the game
The royal family is preparing to go to bed, but no one can decide what they want to wear! Each member of the family keeps getting out of bed to put on new pajamas, then goes back to bed — but not necessarily to sleep. But as soon as the ghost appears, everyone hides under the quilt. Who can remember in which bed the King is located? Or who is wearing blue? Each turn in Le Roi Sommeil, players draw a card from the deck, then place the character in bed. If this is the first time the character is going to sleep, you place it in an empty bed at the front of the line; otherwise, you replace the character already in bed with the newly dressed character. When someone draws the ghost, they immediately cover all the beds with the quilt to hide all the characters. Each player then draws a token that shows either a character or a color, and they need to find a bed in which this person or color is located.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Le Roi Sommeil for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
