When the Queen Says Go and Die...

“Champagne?”

“We’re in the middle of a chase, Porthos.”

“You’re right - something red.”

– Porthos and Athos

The Setting

“Then follow us to France of old, To fiery days when hearts beat high, When blood was young and hate was bold, When sword crossed sword to dare and die, For love and honor gloried then, When life was life and men were men.”

– Douglas Fairbanks Sr

Paris, France. The reign of Louis XIII.

The Game

"You are surrounded by beauty, by intrigue, by danger, what more can a man want?”

– Aramis

Anyone in Paris will tell you, it’s good to be a musketeer. It’s a life of adventure! Of wine! Women! Intrigue! Swordplay! Romance! Brawls! Wine! Women! When adventure calls, when the honour of the Queen is threatened, when villains are about, when a lady needs rescuing, and when its time for a good strong drink, it’s “All for one, and one for all!”

“When The Queen Says ‘Go and Die’...” is a game for creative and proactive players. This game is player driven. Be self-motivated. Have a goal, an agenda, or a plan.
