Equipment:

• One standard deck of playing cards for 3-4 players or two full decks for 5-8 players.
• A fork (three tined if possible)
• The paper crown included with the rules.

Players take turns laying sets of cards down, which are revealed simultaneously. The highest set played wins (three of a kind beats any two of a kind and any pair beats a single.) However, if two or more players have hands that are the highest value and equal the next highest valued hand wins. If there is no winner the cards stay in the pot to be taken by the next winning hand. The winner takes the cards for their score pile.

Throughtout the game, though, players have a chance of getting either the crown, the trident, or both. The holder of either of these items gets special abilities, which can be used during play.

When the game has ended all player count the number of cards they have taken. The player with the most cards wins.
