Description

For a merchant living in Renaissance Europe, life revolves around one thing: prestige.

In this cut-throat game of treasure and power, players compete to build the most lucrative and prestigious jewelry business by acquiring mines, hiring top-notch artisans, and most important of all, wooing the nobility.

On your turn, you have the choice of either collecting gems, buying a card – such as a mine, a means of shipping, an artisan, or a marketplace – or reserving a card to keep it out of the greedy hands of your opponents.

More gems buys you more cards. More cards gets you more prestige. More prestige attracts more nobles and even more prestige.

Do you have the wit and guile to accumulate the most prestige and win?
Immerse yourself in history and put your strategy skills to the test with the intense game of Splendor!

Why Our Fat Brain Experts Like It:
“While not only a fun game and a strategy classic, Splendor’s basic game mechanics are at the root of so many other games that followed. While not the most thematic or the best illustrated, Splendor is a super-fun classic that is to strategy gaming what the Béchamel sauce is to French cuisine or what the blues is to rock ‘n roll. You can’t truly know the one without knowledge of the other.”
