What is Splendor

Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.

On your turn, you may (1) collect chips (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve one card. If you collect chips, you take either three different kinds of chips or two chips of the same kind. If you buy a card, you pay its price in chips and add it to your playing area. To reserve a card—in order to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents don't get it—you place it in front of you face down for later building; this costs you a round, but you also get gold in the form of a joker chip, which you can use as any gem.

All of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.

[b]Primera partida[/b] (6/10) Dinámico [b]Decima partida:[/b] Juego de draf y set collection de reglas sencillas y algunos desafíos. Lamentablemente, envejece rápidamente. Tiene factor azaroso en la forma en que salen las cartas a la mesa. Un juego decente que puede jugarse de tanto en cuanto, pero lejos de querer jugarse de forma constantemente. Baja la nota (5/10)

A card drafter that works really well as a gateway game Easier than 7WD but hard enough to be challenging where there are 2 or more people around you Simple and aesthetic. Does its job Works for kids, family and friends Pretty decent game. A must have in your collection _________________________ After playing it way more times. Out of all the gateways, this is the more interesting and euroish one Quite strategical for being a classic

Juego en el que vas adquiriendo cartas pagando su coste en gemas de diversos colores. Muy sencillo de explicar pero con una buena estrategia detrás.
