I got this board game for my 11 year old daughter who loves playing games but doesnt want to play games meant for younger kids anymore. I thought this might be a fun game for her because of the cool artwork on the cards and the idea that your money is in the form of gems. It has been a big hit in our house since she got it on Christmas. Weve played it as a family lots of times and everyone has enjoyed it - adults included. My younger kids ages 6 and 9 have had no problems keeping up in this game as well. Keep in mind that it isnt a quick game. You will need some time to get through this as there is some thinking and strategy involved. We can usually get done in an hour. Sometimes more or less depending on the number of people playing. The more people involved the longer the game. Weve been playing with 5 and that will take some time. The game rules dont state a cap number of players and from what I can infer from the rules I believe you can play with up to 8 or 9 players ( it depends on the number of nobility cards you have and I think weve lost one somehow. You need one more nobility card than people playing). Overall its been a great game for our family and interesting enough that the adults are having fun as well. And if the adults are involved then my kids definitely want to be involved!

played this game 2x with a friend and liked it enough to get my own copy. simple to learn, easy to play, hard to master! LOL! this is sold by AND SHIPPED by INFINITY SALES CORPORATION. somehow, amazon said they wouldnt ship to my PO box. ok, no prob - that must mean they ship UPS or FedEx. understandable. well, color me surprised when i get a tracking number from USPS - that DOESNT deliver to physical address where i live. contacted the seller and basically got a good luck. go catch it at the post office response. they CLAIM that they only get the addresses from Amazon and have no way of changing that... so, great. it got returned by USPS. i DONT have the game. and am STILL waiting on the refund. THANKS INFINITY SALES CORPORATION! GREAT customer service and your willing to fix the problem for future (potential) customers is stuff songs will be written about. *eye roll*

Splendor and Duel both little redundant to have but dual has a little more complex mechanica to it splendor is quick setup and little more strategical. Both fun in own right. Duel has tiny cards hard to decipher green and blue gems, splendor does not have that issue. Duel is easy to carry on travel smaller setup. Would not recommend using it in a setup that is shaky in motion. Splendor needs table to play. Duel is 2 player only. Splendor is 2 or more and you can download automa to play solo.

This is the best game I’ve learned in the last 25 years. The inventor is a true genius. Every game is different, there are so many different strategies, there is no right or wrong, at the end it just matters to play your cards right - literally. Everyone in our family wins games, and nobody ever feels bad to not have won. There isn’t really “losing” in this game.

Love the strategy needed for this game! This is a favorite of my game group!

A buddy brought his game to work. The rules are very basic and easy to learn. Everyone at the office is addicted and many of us bought our own copy.

This is not my first copy of Splendor. But, my first copy wandered off, so I needed to replace it. My concern was the quality of the components and the hefty coins we all appreciate. I was very happy that they still have the weight. Great gateway game. Quick to learn. High quality.

We love this game! The only thing is that the game instructions are very ambiguous for the visiting nobles-you kind of have to come up with your own rules there. Its fun for 2, 3 or 4 people, which is nice that it is just as fun with 2 players as it is with 4 players.

Very engaging. while it is easy to catch on to the strategy and you are able to still have enteractive conversations with other players. It stretches your strategic thinking just enough to give you a challenge! Can be played in 25 min!

I learned to play from my sister. She was a master at it. She played a lot while battling cancer to keep her faculties crisp. It was a fun game that if you had to leave it you could come back and continue playing. It is well made and depending on who is playing can be a nice challenging strategy game. We would play as pairs if there were numerous people with two people deciding what moves to make, but for the most part good with 2, 3 or 4 players. This is a good go to game. We are a big board game family. I dont know that younger people enjoy it much but adults most definitively do.
