How to Play
To start a game of Le Roy des Ribauds (The Rogue Monarch):
1. Shuffle all the cards.
2. Draw 4 cards, and put it in a face-down row called the Court.
3. Deal a hand of 3 cards to each player. (Note: If a player has 2 Reines in their starting hand, they put these two cards under the draw pile, and draw 2 cards to replenish their hand. If a player has 3 Reines in their starting hand or if each player has two, then the deal is canceled, and each player has to draw 3 new cards.)
4. Use all the remaining cards to form a face-down draw pile.
5. Leave enough space for a discard pile (cards are always put face-up in the discard pile). You'll use the discard pile to create a new draw pile once the original draw pile is empty.
6. The starting player is selected randomly.
Actions
Each player takes turn playing a card in the Court. You can either:
• Reveal a card in the Court and apply its effect.
• Replace any card in the Court with one of the cards in your hand. You can put it face-up and apply its effect, or put it face-down.
End of the game
When one of the players meets the conditions of one of 3 possible conspiracies, that player wins the game. The conspiracies are:
• The Coronation: 3 Rois (Kings) are face-up in the Court during your turn.
• The Marriage: You start your turn with 3 Reines (Queens) in your hand.
• The Murder: During your turn, there's a face-up card between two other face-up Assassin cards in the court.
Card Effects
Effects are triggered when a card is played in the Court.
• Chevalier (Knight): Switch two cards in the Court, then hide or reveal any card in the Court. This does not trigger the effect of cards that are revealed this way.
• Reine (Queen): Look at 2 random cards in the hand of your opponent. If you discover any Reine (Queen), discard it, and your opponent has to draw cards to replenish their hand.
• Roi (King): Reveal a card in the Court OR draw 2 cards into your hand and then discard two cards from your hand. (Revealing a card does not trigger the effect of cards that are revealed this way.)
• Assassin (Rogue): Look at 2 face-down cards in the Court.
Story
In the kingdom of France, the king's name is Philippe-Auguste. As clever as he is cunning, he rules over his people with an iron fist.
However, in the underworld, another name is whispered with reverence : le Roy des Ribauds. Even Paris’s most dangerous cut-throats and assassins fear him. And, between light and darkness, intrigues and political manoeuvers are legion.
