The theme centers around the "journée des dupes" in 1630, when Maria de' Medici sought to have Cardinal Richelieu dismissed by the young Louis XIII. All cards are placed face-up on the table in four rows. Players can take one or two cards from the ends of the rows, aiming to collect the majority of cards in each color and some symbols.
