Louis XIV is a designer board game created by Rüdiger Dorn and released in 2005. Players take on the roles of members of the court of King Louis XIV of France, so the theme is life among the courtiers rather than war or exploration. The game won the Deutscher Spiele Preis in 2005, one of the principal German awards for strategy and family board games, which is the main distinction recorded for it. The Wikipedia article is short and gives no further detail about rules, components or player count, so this entry limits itself to what is stated: the designer, the year, the courtly setting and the 2005 prize.
