Queen's Necklace Boxed Card Game

A game by Bruno Faidutti and Bruno Cathala. It is the time of Musketeers, and tempers are rising throughout the Kingdom. The royal jewelers once enjoyed their patrons' seemingly unending wealth. Now they must scour all of Paris to acquire their precious gems and mingle with nobility (and other not-so-noble characters) to ensure a favored position in the Kings Court. Queen's Necklace is a fast, card-driven game of jewel trading and intrigue. Two to four players compete to craft and sell the most exquisite jewels to the Queen and her court. But they must be always aware of the ever-changing fashions and rarity of different gems (and may even try to manipulate it). The Jeweler who earns the most prestige will receive the coveted title of King's Jeweler and a place at the Court!
