"A complete role playing game set in the era of the Three Musketeers. A world in which a man's courage and ambitions knew no bounds. It was a time of adventure and of intrigue in which the rival interests of King and Cardinal played a deadly game across France and all of Europe."

The game comes in a box containing rules book, (Flashing Blades 48p.), three introductory adventures, (Adventures 16p.), character sheet, and a gamemaster's screen.

It has been reprinted in recent years as a single book containing everything that was previously in the box set.
