Paris, on the eve of the French Revolution...
From the slums, where purse-snatchers and courtesans work their respective trades, to the inner salons of the Louvre, where confessors, royal astrologers, musketeers and court favourites mingle and scheme in hushed conversations the position of King's jeweller has suddenly become a lot more dangerous!
Queen's Necklace is a game of gem-selling, influence and intrigue at the Court. Two to four players compete in the role of Royal Jeweller to sell rare jewels to the Queen and her court.
Jeweller's loupe in hand, you must decide how best to spend your hard-earned ducats: on the acquisition of beautiful gems diamonds, emeralds, and rubies; or to buy the favours of the various court followers. After three years of craftsmanship, the jeweler who sells the most precious gems and builds the largest fortune will receive the coveted title of King's Jeweller and a place at the Court!
All of Dumas' famous dash and daring flair for storytelling would not have come off so perfectly in this Queen's Necklace without the exceptional illustrations of noted fashion designers Humbert Chabuel & Pierre-Alain Chartier. Over one hundred oversized cards bring the King's court villains, heroes and precious jewels to life like in no other game before.
Each box also includes a distinctive Queen's Necklace, a conversation piece that might also turn out to be the perfect artefact to save your neck in a close game.
