Queens Necklace

Paris, on the eve of the French Revolution the Queen’s necklace is missing and soon enough her neck may follow! 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 the King’s Jeweller has suddenly become a lot more dangerous!

Players compete as Royal Jewellers who vie to sell rare jewels to the Queen and her court. Each player must decide the best way to spend their hard-earned ducats, will you acquire beautiful diamonds, emeralds, rubies and other gems; or buy the favors of the various court followers. After three years of craftsmanship, the jeweller 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!

This is a 2-4 player game and has an average play time of 30-40 minutes.
