	Description Edit \| History

This game is a Barbu derivative that was designed to have more challenging scoring. It uses 32 cards and has six sub-games (Queens, Spades, Parliament (taking tricks is good), Royalty, Guillotine and Dominoes). In the first three sub-games taking the King of Hearts decreases your penalty points.

This game originally appeared in the first issue of the World Games Review.
