The Battle of Versailles - Board Game (ENG)

Description

"The Battle of Versailles" was a fashion show that took place in 1973 in Versailles, France, where five American designers competed against five French designers. The American designers, including Anne Klein, Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows and Bill Blass, were considered more innovative and less traditional than the French designers: Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Emanuel Ungaro, Pierre Cardin and Christian Dior . The American designers ultimately won the competition and thus strengthened their position in the fashion world. The event received widespread media attention and is considered a turning point in the history of fashion.

In the game "The Battle of Versailles", players take on the role of the team of France and the United States, who face each other by playing action cards to show off their best dresses, attract the most popular celebrities, or the to annoy an opponent by spreading gossip. They also compete to contribute more to the reconstruction of the Palace of Versailles than their opponent.

The French player has five actions per round, which matches the classic but overly long show (2 hours and 30 minutes) they put on, while the American player only has three actions per round, because their show was fresh, innovative and short ( only 37 minutes).
