This is a gane that we just call “Quest”. Before I can tell you how to play, I must first tell you some things. We were created over two hunderd generations of 25 years each ago by an evil sorceress known to us a Malicia. The things that we love most aside from the tiara are the heart, scallop shell and the star. This is what the game entails interspersed in a tableau of cards that are face down are the followng: Nine good “ordinal” cards, these are cards, that represent good things, three with hearts, three with scallop shells and three with stars. Nine bad “ordinal” cards: Three broken wands, three shattered crystals and three black suns, one good “cardinal” card with a picture of a tiara and one bad “cardinal “ card with a picture of Malicia Malicia is pictured as a beuatiful blonde lady wearing a purple gown with a silver band across her forehead.

The game is played to its outcome. The object is to collect the three of one good kind or one of each of the good kind (either the 3 hearts, stars or shells or one of each) and avoid the 3 bad ordinal cards. If you draw the required good cares you are awarded the tiara and you win, if you draw the tiara then you win at any time. If you draw three of a kind or one of each kind of the bad ordinal cards, you get the Malicia card and you lose, If at any time you turn over Malicia then you lose there and then.

This could be adapted to the standard deck by adding the 20 cards to the regular deck. The tableau is any way that you can divide 72 into even bits like 9x8, 6x12 or like that. You play the Solitaire version by turning over the cards. If it is a non-play card (an ordinal or cardinal) it is turned back face down, otherwise, it is left face up

If played competitively, the tableau is multiplied by the number of playters so that each shall have a chance to win or lose. The only cards not multipled are the cardinals (tiara and Malicia) since they end the game so that two players would use a deck of 140 plus the cardinals, three would use 210 and thus and so

Competive play is done in one of two ways, The first is that each girl turns over one card and the turn passes to the next and so until it comes back to the first and the round goes again. The other method is that one deck of 72 is laid out in tableau and the girl plays until finished and her nuber os turnovers is tracked and the winner is the one who draws either the tiara or the 3 ordial cards needed in the fewest tries and a girl drawing the 3 bad ordinal cards or Malicia
