Introduction: The Greatest Gemstone Merchants of the Renaissance. Make a name for yourself in the prestigious and lucrative jewelry business of Renaissance Europe in Splendor, the award-winning game of gems! First, collect raw gems to fund the development of mines throughout the world—then acquire the means to transport them, artisans to shape them, and finally a storefront where you can sell your polished jewels. If you produce exactly the right jewelry, a powerful Noble may become your patron, but even then they won't just hand you victory: the player whose business earns the most prestige wins. Deceptively simple, Splendor involves quick strategic thinking and intense competition! Deceptively simple, Splendor involves quick strategic thinking and intense competition! |
Features: In Splendor, you lead a merchant guild. Using tokens representing gemstones, you will acquire developments which produce new gems (bonuses). These bonuses reduce the cost of your purchases and attract noble patrons. Each turn is quick: one, and only one, action! The first player to reach fifteen prestige points by accumulating nobles and development cards triggers the end of the game. A game by Marc André. Artwork by Pascal Quidault.
