Seven Families of Capetiens is an educational card game about the history and genealogy of French royalty of the Capetien dynasty. The game comes with 55 playing cards, a rules card, a pamphlet on the history of the various Capetien family members, and a genealogical chart of those individuals. The players have two decks of cards at their disposal: 42 people cards and 42 castle cards. The Bastille destruction card is included among the caslte cards and allows the person who draws to nullify a castle laid down by an opponent. The latter is then unable to reunite the corresponding family. In order to win a player must, in their entirety, reunite more families than his opponents. In addition a preliminary condition must be met: before beginning to reunite a family, you must have acquired a castle in which they have resided.
