Splendor Strategy Board Game for Ages 10 and up, from Asmodee

Splendor is a fast-paced and elegant engine-building game where players take on the roles of wealthy Renaissance merchants. You must strategically collect raw gem tokens to acquire development cards, which represent mines, transportation, and artisans. These cards provide permanent gem bonuses that reduce the cost of future purchases and help you accumulate prestige points. As your influence grows, you may even attract the attention of noble patrons who provide additional points toward victory. The game is highly intuitive, making it accessible for beginners while offering deep tactical layers for experienced strategists. The first player to reach fifteen prestige points triggers the final round to determine the ultimate winner.
