Help the king of Athabasia assemble a coalition in Parliament to vote him the taxes he needs. You are trying to score the most points from your cards' face value and from bonuses; some bonuses are always available (such as a straight of at least six), while others vary and are only revealed as the game progresses. Each turn, you draft a new coalition member into your hand from the deck or from face up cards. Usually you also discard, but peasant cards can be "enrolled" face up in your hand and don't require a discard. Total your points after six turns; after four games, high score wins. -description from designer
