The year is 1566. The Order of Malta has placed the first stone of what will become a powerful city in the Mediterranean.

The Llama commands it: Get rid of all your negative points! Play your cards or you will earn negative points. If you can't play a card, you'll have to decide: Do you quit now, or do you draw a card which hopefully you can play later?
