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.
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.

[ESP] Un juego de reglas muy simples que gusta mucho, es muy sutil como se va generando tu engine para comprar cartas más caras. Un juego que tiene que estar en toda ludoteca.
Excelente juego, lo tengo dentro de mis favoritos en la Ludoteca...

Really simple idea, but works quite well. The mechanics are extremely easy to explain and to play. Don't look for any kind of hidden strategy, this is kind of opportunistic game in form of a race to collect the jewels, and of course the characters. Cards are nice, and chips are good quality, but to me a bit out of place. The chips are kind of poker type, and to me they look a bit strange when playing, but this is totally personal. I have played with big plastic gems instead of the chips, and it looks definitely better (well done, Jokin!). Insert is well designed, but in an enormous box for
