Louis XIV
Win majorities on the courtiers you need, one carefully placed influence marker at a time.
Who it's for
Four experienced players who enjoy majority battles and don't need theme to stay engaged.
Not for you if…
You want a relaxed evening or a game with atmosphere. The Versailles setting is a coat of paint, the rules take real explaining, and at a hundred minutes with heavy blocking it can grind for anyone who falls behind.
Vibe's take
Quiet, concentrated and slightly ruthless. Every placement is read by everyone, so bluffing about your real target matters.

About this game
Intrigue at Versailles: you place influence markers on twelve courtier tiles, then cash in majorities to have those courtiers carry out missions for you. A tight, thinky Alea game with almost no luck and constant blocking.
