About Richelieu
The theme is the "journée des dupes", in 1630, when Mary of Medici tried to have the young Louis the XIIIth dismiss the Cardinal of Richelieu. All the cards are placed face up on the game table, in 4 rows. Players, in turn, can take one or two cards at the end of the rows, the goal being to have the majority of cards in each color, as well as with some symbols. Belongs to the Ravensburger Fun For 2 Series. Re-implements: Kardinal & König: Das Kartenspiel
