Players cooperatively act as the musketeers, attempting each turn to play cards that added together as a group match or exceed the number on the cardinal's guard card. Winning is far from certain, as players select their card secretly each turn. And, despite the common goal, players may be rewarded or penalized individually for playing the best or worst cards in that turn. The game is played to 100 points, with victory going to an individual player.3rd Place 1990 Hippodice Spieleautorenwettbewerb. - BoardGameGeek
