During the time 970 - 931 BCE the prophet and king Solomon ruled over the United Kingdom of Israel. He was considered to be very wise, and was famously wealthy. Many stories surrounded the great King, including the tale of the Key of Solomon . The key was actually a book, containing knowledge which Solomon consulted to perform magic spells using magic circles or Pentacles . By drawing these magic circles, and using material components such as a sword or a ring, Solomon would invoke the power of God. Through these rituals, along with confession of sins, and prayer, he could perform these magic spells. Use cards from your hand to complete the four Pentacles of a card, on the play surface, to collect it for its point value. Complete special spells to steal a card from another player (skull), link your fortunes (rings), "find" the top card of the daw pile for its point value (hand), or hide your fortune from your opponents (eye). Play to a agreed upon point total, or until all cards have been player. The different game types determine a shorter game or a long game. —description from the designer
