Splendor is a strategic engine-building game where players take on the roles of Renaissance merchants competing to acquire gem mines, transportation, and shops to earn prestige points. The gameplay involves collecting gems, purchasing developments, and attracting noble patrons to build influence and secure victory.
The rules are straightforward, making it accessible for new players, while the tactical depth provides a satisfying challenge for experienced gamers. Each session is fast-paced, with meaningful decisions packed into compact rounds.
Multiple paths to victory and variable setups ensure high replay value. Designed by Marc André with artwork by Paul Vérité, this edition marks Splendor’s 10th anniversary with updated visuals and refined gameplay mechanics.
Things to Keep in MindA common concern among recent buyers is a noticeable decline in the quality of game components, particularly the chips, which are frequently described as lightweight plastic rather than the previously anticipated heavy, high-quality tokens. Additionally, users report issues with print quality on cards and manuals, with some experiencing damaged packaging or misaligned elements upon arrival. Why You'll Like ItMany users find the game highly engaging and easy to learn, often noting its strategic depth and high replayability, which makes it suitable for various players and family game nights.
