## Description
Versailles puts you in the shoes of an architect or designer working on the iconic French palace. You and your opponents will compete for King Louis XIV's favor while building and decorating the most luxurious gardens and halls in Europe. The game blends strategy with a touch of puzzle: you move workers between construction sites, triggering actions and gathering resources to complete parts of the palace. The rondel adds an interesting layer of planning, as you need to carefully consider which action to prioritize each turn. Despite simple rules, the competition for space and resources can get quite intense. And in the end, whoever impresses the King the most with their constructions wins!
