Provenance

Where it came from

The Battle of Versailles, published by Salt & Pepper Games in 2024, is a historical card game designed by Baldo Salvador. The game recreates the iconic 1973 fashion show held at the Palace of Versailles, a landmark event intended to raise funds for the palace's restoration while simultaneously pitting five French designers against five American designers in a high-stakes competition that fundamentally altered the global fashion landscape.

Mechanically, the game utilizes a card-driven system that captures the tension of the runway and the strategic maneuvering required to outshine competitors. It leans into the cultural significance of the 'Battle' by focusing on the differing philosophies of the two teams: the structured, opulent French haute couture versus the dynamic, sportswear-focused American style. The design emphasizes the historical weight of the event, serving as both a competitive tabletop experience and a tribute to a transformative moment in design history.
