The board is divided into eight "bowls." Players win chips/coins out of the bowls as they play the face cards of the trump suit. The first player to get rid of his cards wins the hand and the other player have to pay the winner one coin for card they have left in their hand.

Limited Edition
For centuries a 5-pointed star has been a charm against evil. The Medieval story of Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight claimed that it represented the 5 wounds inflicted on Christ, and therefore demons are terrified of it. Another explanation is that it represents Man (or God), plus the elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water.
Our original "Pentalpha" design uses both interpretations. The rose symbolizes the Crown of Thorns, and Celtic motifs represent elements: A stag & oak leaves=earth, A bird=air, Celtic sea serpents=water, and a flame with Pictish spirals=fire. Man is represented by a Celtic a "beard-puller" motif.Printed on a dark green T-shirt and available in sizes medium through 4XL
