BATTLE OF VERSAILLES

In the game The Battle of Versailles, players take the role of either the France or U.S. team, facing one another by playing action cards to show off their best dresses, to attract the most popular celebrities, or to annoy the opponent by spreading bad gossip. The French player has five actions per round, representing the classic but overly-long show (2h 30min) while the American player has only three actions per round as their show was fresh, innovative, and short (only 37min). Both teams fight to control the most influential celebrities in the fashion world. The Americans try to show off the best innovative features on their dresses. The French try to contribute as much as possible to the reconstruction of Versailles in order to raise their national pride in this beautiful palace.
