The Battle of Versailles

2024 · Industri / Fremstilling

The Battle of Versailles

Two teams reenact the 1973 Paris fashion showdown, with one side representing the established French houses and the other the emerging American designers. Players spend action points each round to play cards that present dresses, court celebrities, spread gossip, or fund palace reconstruction. The French team takes more actions per round, reflecting a longer, traditional show; the American team has fewer actions but focuses on innovation and stealing prestige. Victory depends on differing objectives: maintaining or stealing prestige, controlling influential celebrities, showcasing design innovations, and contributing to the restoration of Versailles.

    Excelente juego para dos jugadores. Fácil de aprender pero no de dominar. Un tira y afloja constante muy entretenido. Altamente recomendado. Lo que menos me gusta es el diseño, no porqué no me guste las ilustraciones (porqué me gustan) sino por los colores escogidos, demasiado pastel, poca variedad de vestidos (se repiten mucho), al igual que algunas cartas que son idénticas y en mesa queda sosete, como si fuese un diseño en pruebas. El tablero de versalles está bien pero me hubiera gustado algo más compacto que permitiera poder llevarte el juego para viajes.

    The bad rulebook make the first play really difficult to flow. The game is really cool and it is the first CDG my girlfriend ever enjoyed. Well done guys!

    Una batalla incruenta que te hace sumergirte en los años 70. Una mecánica más compleja de lo que puede parecer y una profundidad estratégica endemoniada.

Regelspørgsmål

Besvaret ud fra regelbogen af Ludoyas regelassistent.

When does the model move, and who takes an action on each runway tile?

When it lands on a tile, both players perform the action on their own side; then move it to the next tile. Continue until it has walked the last tile. (p. 8–9)

Can I use a dress, celebrity, or event card for something else?

Yes. Instead of using its card type, discard it to draw the number of cards shown for your side, or place it face down by the Income tile to count when the model reaches that tile. (p. 11)

When I cover an older dress, do its features and prestige still count?

Only the icon or prestige value still visible at the top counts. A partially covered dress also can’t be moved by an event. (pp. 11–12)

When I play a celebrity, do I always get the action on the space it occupies?

You perform the space’s action when placing the celebrity on a free space. If all spaces are full and you replace the opponent’s celebrity, you do not perform that space’s action, but you still trigger your new celebrity’s ability. (p. 13)

If I lose the Income action, do I still get a Versailles tile?

The lower-income player takes 1 tile only if their total is at least half the winner’s; otherwise they take none. The higher-income player takes 2, and ties go to France. (p. 15)

Does a wildcard count toward the USA’s six different dress qualities?

No. Wildcards can complete a skill pair during the Designer action, but do not count toward the USA’s victory condition; covered dress icons do not count either. The USA needs six different qualities in the same column. (pp. 14, 17)
