Splendor Board Game (Base Game) | Family Board Game | Board Game for Adults and Family | Strategy Game | Ages 10+ | 2 to 4 players | Average Playtime 30 minutes | Made by Space Cowboys

Any time we’ve wanted to play we always have more than 4 players wanting in on a game. I’d love to see a player expansion released! We make it work with 5 players by adding another column of cards and limiting each players hand to 9 coins max, as well as reducing the points required to win. The game runs a bit slower but is still one of our family favorites! The game is awesome with 4 players but 90% of the time we play with 5 out of necessity haha

The first time I played it, I didnt like it as much. In retrospect, it was the last game of a long 5 hours and its quiet. Its not a party game with lots of laughter but I decided to add it to my collection because it balances the chaos of some other games. Its easy to learn (and I mean very easy) and the pieces are solid. I like using it to introduce gaming to people and it can be relaxing for some nights with my husband. Its not big on theme, but the one it has works fine. The only thing I would add to gameplay is stretch the objective to 20 instead of 15. It takes forever to build points but once someone does it goes very fast, so the pacing is off.

This game is the best board game on the market. Easy to learn. Early and late game strategies. Short to medium game time. Great replay value. Highly recommend for those who are just beginning to casually enjoy games, those trying to round out their collection, and everyone in between. Cannot speak highly enough of Splendor.

Some people have stated that they did not get quality parts of the game (e.g. tokens were cardboard). Not sure what happened there, but here to reassure you that the game I received was high quality. The tokens have weight - feel a bit like poker chips. The cards are glossy and well made. The game is easy to learn, and fun to play. Usually takes only 30-40 minutes to get through a game. Played it quite a few times just in the first week, and still love it. Only limited to 2-4 players. Already bought a second game as a gift. I highly recommend this game!

The instruction booklet is two pages long. It takes less than that to explain how to play. This is great considering a lot of games nowadays have 15 page instruction booklets that take you an hour and a half to learn how to play. The cards are good material, and the little gem tokens are hefty and feel good to play with. It is a fun game with a bit of strategy, and a bit of luck, and fairly quick.

There is a great temptation to immediately go on a buying spree, but its important to look at the Noble cards at the top of the board and build the cards you will need to buy those. A fun game that allows you to create your own winning strategy. We had a lot of fun playing this while visiting our kids & grandkids over Christmas and ordered our own game to be delivered when we came home. Since then weve introduced several of our friends to the game and continued the fun.

Not only are we addicted, weve gotten other people addicted too. It only took me a couple games to get it, and now Ive been playing for years.

Asmodee knocked it out of the park with this one! This game is so simple to teach, and get into, but is so fun, and so re-playable, you will be playing for years. I introduced my retired parents to it, and they love it. I have introduced some teens to it, and they love it. The game takes 30-45mins to play. Despite the simple and smooth gameplay and rules, their is a depth of strategy that was entirely unexpected. You collect gem chips to purchase cards that produce their own gems. With limited chips and competition for the cards, it is very engaging with lots of interplay and reactions to your opponents. It may be a simple filler game, or a quick easy game to introduce people to the world of board games, but either way, it will be one of your favorites, and is the most played game on my shelf. The artwork on the cards is fantastic, and it is the best designed game I have played in a while. Buy it, now.

The game was fine. We have all played it but were adding it to the Christmas game mix. So, no problem with the game/product itself....which is why it gets 3 stars. The problem is that it was shipped exactly as you see it....stuck a shipping label on the outside of the plastic wrapped box and shipped it out. Needless to say, every single corner of the box was damaged, the plastic broken through and the box messed up. Hard to say its bad enough to go through the trouble of returning it and trying to get a new copy, but how stupid is that to send something like that with just a shipping label stuck on the front. You are asking to have the box damaged.

My husband and I love this game! Its super fun and easy to learn and lots of potential for strategies. My husband normally doesnt care for card games and board games but he loves this game.
