Award-winning game of economy manipulation and set collection
Compete to collect gem mines to build your empire
Deceptively simple rules yield a wealth of strategic depth
Recommended for ages 10+
Description
Splendor is a fast, elegant, and intuitive game in which two to four players compete to build Renaissance Europe's most lucrative and prestigious jewelry business. You begin by collecting raw gems and use those to fund the development of mines throughout the world. Once you've mined more gemstones, you must 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 easy to learn, Splendor involves quick strategic thinking and produces intense interpersonal competition!

Q: What version of Splendor is this game? 2014, 2015, or 2016?
submitted by Claudia - 9 years ago
A: I just chatted with the representative working at the West Seattle target and she confirmed that it's the latest version (2017?), so it's not the high quality of 2014-2015 version you might be looking for.
submitted bylinh - 8 years ago
A: I just ordered and picked this up. It weighs 2lbs, 5oz. The chips seem weighty. I'm pleased.
submitted byJM - 2 years ago
A: its 2014 edition as confirmed by chat center agent.
submitted byMA - 9 years ago
A: I just received a copy and it is the low quality 2017 version. Very disappointed as the shipping section states that this is a 2.4 lb package, which is indicative of the older version with higher quality (heavier) chips. Target needs to update their shipping information to show that this is the LOW QUALITY 1.8lb (2017) version.

Great family game
This board game is so much fun to play as a family! It’s not too difficult but does take some strategy and planning. My 12 year old really enjoys it.

Great addition to our game collection!
Fun game, only downside is that it’s up to 4 people. We already bought this game for other family members. Everyone loves it. Even our 6 year old plays.

Quick play, strategy game
We've played it at least 4 times this week! Quick to play (30-45 minutes), but requires a strategic plan. Will be a regular in our rotation of games - particularly for when we have a limited amount of time to play.

Not shiny tokens
Bummed the tokens were not as advertised. I love this game and already have all versions. I saw in the picture the tokens looked shiny, so I bought this. It came in the new box but the tokens are not shiny. Disappointed. Maybe the picture should be changed to reflect the real product. I felt it was misleading. Still love the game. Will give to my kids or something.

Quality has dropped
It’s a favorite game in our household. However, I bought new sets to replace ours and as gifts to family. 2/3 new sets were of very poor quality, cards color were terrible, and the chips were light weight with a white powdery film that had to be wiped off. I was embarrassed after realizing the drop in quality. I checked with the people we gave them to. Fortunately, one family received the older set that was of top notch quality. I think the company had cut cost saving corners. I’ve included pictures to show the older version’s chip weight of 13 grams compared to the new version 5 grams. I couldn’t show the difference in cards because the older better quality set was thrown out because they were so worn. It’s still a favorite game.

Excellent family game
I bought this game because we had the grandkids over for the weekend and my son lent us his game. After playing it with the grandkids my husband wanted one for our house. Excellent game, makes you plan ahead. Lots of fun. I already recommended this game to a couple of coworkers that have children ages 8 to 12.

Great game for homeschooling!
My husband and I learned this game and liked it so when we saw it, we picked it up. Turns out, my kids all love it too! My 8 year old regularly wins. The 6 and 4 year olds got the concept and love playing as well. Great game. We do a lot of practice of concepts through games so this is a great game for gameschooling, unschooling or just homeschooling. I don't think the price is worth $40. Buy it online and save $10. But even at $30 it's a little overpriced.

Fun strategy game!
Super fun and easy to learn! I love the strategy and variation opportunity. I had friends try who weren't savvy with board games, and they thoroughly enjoyed playing! I think there's just a discrepancy in the rule book depending on number of people, but otherwise, good rules!

Strategy. Skill. Great time!
I had a game night to try out Splendor. I had heard so much about it because it had won a lot of awards for best board game a couple of years back. It was finally my turn to test it out. First of all, the quality of the cards, tokens and materials were all great. The rule book explained everything in detail but I am a big fan of going to YouTube to watch a quick How To video. We were four and played for about 45 minutes. The second and third game were faster since we grasped the concept. This is a strategy and skill game. One wrong move by someone else and it can ruin your entire strategy. We had a blast and we would highly recommend it.

great quick play game that requires strategy
Splendor is a fantastic game not just for adults, but also for kids! Everyone battling for the nobles to be the best was so much fun. The ability to reserve cards that someone else wants made the game really tactical and made you feel so sneaky. The ability to play multiple games in a reasonable amount of time made it to where the kids don't get bored easily and look forward to not only their turn but also paying attention to how others playing effects their turn. Average game lasts around 20 minutes and setup is less than 5 minutes. It takes on average one game to understand the game. We are looking forward to getting the expansions to the game to see what changes. recommended for ages 10+ for 2- 4 players. Our son was able to grasp it and play at 9

Beware! Addicting Game.
We absolutely love this game. It starts with the quality of what's in the box. The cards are heavy duty, and the chips are hefty. Despite the simplicity of the pieces and structure of the game, it NEVER gets old. The game is always different and your strategy is always changing. We even take this game on vacation. Its even great as a 2 player game. I would suggest this game to anybody.

This game was amazing to play and learn about. The kids asked about the different characters as well as all the other things that they wanted to know. It was super fun to play and kept everyone entertained all night.

Fun game
Had a fun time with game time playing Splendor. Was a little tricky to get the hang of it at first. But once we got playing it was a lot easier. Strategy is tough to develop. But although gameplay seems daunting, it becomes a lot more doable once you get going. Watching online video tutorial of how to play made a huge difference over reading the directions. Was enjoyed by kids and adults alike!
