As D'Artagnan and his famous friends, you will challenge the dreaded Cardinal de Richelieu and his henchmen in a frantic race to the Louvre. Each player takes on the role of either a musketeer or the Cardinal. The Musketeers, who can communicate and play together, must make their way through the Louvre, passing through rooms and guards, in order to bring the jewels back to the Queen before she goes to the ball. The Cardinal must do everything in his power to retrieve the jewels by placing his men in such a way as to find out which of the Musketeers is hiding the jewels on him. Meanwhile, the Queen is inexorably on her way to the ball. Will the musketeers arrive in time?
It's up to you to choose how you play, every man for himself or all for one... You will have to choose between cunning and confrontation, while respecting the order of movement of the characters defined on the game turn cards! Musketeers, take up your swords, the Queen's reputation is at stake...
The musketeers win if one of them crosses the board completely and gives the precious ferrets to the Queen. The Cardinal wins the game by taking the real ferrets. After a duel, if the musketeer carrying the ferrets is knocked out and one of the cardinal's henchmen is in the same room, the cardinal immediately wins the game. The cardinal wins if the queen reaches the square where the king is located on the track leading from the queen to the king.
