Dashing swordplay in the time of the Three Musketeers.
Publisher's blurb: "The year is 1625. France is ruled by the young King Louis XIII, who is both pious and cruel. The king is sometimes cleverly bullied and often manipulated by the scheming first minister of France, Cardinal Duc de Richelieu. Queen Anne of Austria, both ignored and resented by her husband the king, fears she will prove to be an expendable chess piece on Richelieu's board of intrigues. Indeed, with Richelieu's spies and informants seemingly everywhere, plots and betrayal are a constant menace to those who do not capitulate to Richelieu’s command.
"Into the thick of this plague of plots boldly strides our dashing heroes, many of whom wear the king's tabard; all are wary of the cardinal's influence over their king - a brave few have drawn steel to contest who is the true master of France by challenging soldiers of another élite company, the Cardinal's Guards...
"Crossed Swords is a complete role playing game which provides all the rules needed to play heroes in 17th century France. Each player needs only a single D10 and the guidance of a game master to delve into exciting adventures against the enemies of France, or perhaps enemies closer to home..."
