Splendor (English)

Splendor is a family game that has won an incredible number of awards during 2014.

In Splendor, players are merchants from the Renaissance. As a merchant, you are looking for the most beautiful and valuable gemstones, rubies and diamonds, so you can impress the nobles.

On your turn, you can do one of the following actions:

• Collect gems
• Use your gems to buy a development card
• Reserve a development card.

Development cards provide a continuous discount on the purchase of new cards, allowing you to buy more expensive cards in the future. This way, the game escalates because your discounts increase every time you buy a new card.

Splendor is an incredibly simple family game, but at the same time offers a lot of interesting considerations and different strategies.
