Evarts’ tie-dye clothes and the Baby Queen from Mrs.

The Evarts started playing the new game by drawing first the queens, then kings, knights and dragons on regular playing cards – adding a whole panoply of characters to introduce more fun. They based them on everyday life, concocting the Tie-Dye King, inspired by Mr.

“My family and I had been playing lots of card games to help with simple math skills,” Miranda explained. Her mother, Denise Evarts added: “Games bring families and friends together. We have game night at our home about once a week, and when friends visit they should be prepared to play!” One sleepless night Miranda, her imagination running wild, played a game in her mind where she rescued queens who had fallen under a sleeping spell. She got up, went to her parents and announced: “I made up a game!” Promptly tucked back into bed, she championed the cause of the sleeping queens in her dreams all night long. The next morning, an enthusiastic Miranda outlined her ideas to her parents, older sister, Madeleine, and baby brother, Stephen. The sleeping queens were embraced and adopted as a family project. Sleeping Queens was created by Miranda Evarts, the first child inventor of a game released on the international market. She came up with the original idea and developed the rules with the support of her family. Miranda then landed a successful licensing agreement with an award-winning game company Gamewright. One of this year’s most popular games, Sleeping Queens is proof that a six-year-old, with the right cards, can become an inventor and license her intellectual property rights. The holiday season is the perfect time for family and friends to gather around and play their favorite games – or try out a brand new one like Sleeping Queens.
