In Versailles, players take the role of newcomers in the court of Louis the Great that try to earn a position by courting the most pre-eminent figures at the palace: The King, The Queen, The Cardinal, The Duchess, The Chamberlain, The Seneschal and The Spymaster. The players have to fight for the favour of as many characters as possible while trying to make them earn as much influence at court as possible. A hand management game with a clever majority mechanism using hidden cards and keeping the uncertainty of who controls whom until the end.
