I'm stuck trying to find a good way to rotate 12 poker players on 2 tables.
Assumptions:
There are 12 players
There are 2 tables
We play for 4 hours
Playing with sb means sitting at the same table
My goals are:

We start in a city that rhymes with angina,
the masuclin form, add in what's drunk in China,
then take phylum's first six, of the minor kind,
components will make what in our hand we find.
We add to our hand where we initiated,

I have searched for treasure in Egypt,

Here's a discrete variation of yesterday's puzzle Peaceful Encampments.
You have 8 white queens and 8 black queens. Place all these pieces onto a normal 8x8 chessboard in such a way that no white queen threatens a black queen (nor vice versa).
Or, phrasing the puzzle in a way parallel to Bl...
As a pack, we pursue the pity, for power, on the flee.
As a king, I was a clashing knight, couldb't you see?
As a wolf, I am white without any whispers;
