From the box: "Monte Carlo in the Home" Carlette is essentially roulette played with a deck of standard playing cards. Players bet on whether "Court Cards" (face cards), cards of a specific suit, "evens" of a specific color, or specific cards will appear from the deck. A die is used to determine the cards that will be dealt from the deck and winners are paid. Components include the betting board, a deck of standard playing cards, a die, red poker chips, a wooden table rake, and the book "Rules of Carlette".
