Space Cowboys | Splendor | Board Game | Ages 10+ | For 2 to 4 Players | 30 Minutes Playing Time

This is a simple game with plenty of depth & different routes to victory. You can load up on the cheap level 1 cards to stock up to gain points later in the game or try to earn higher level point-scoring cards early on but with fewer cards. Scales well for couples & 3 & 4 players. Also, I prefer the new design of the cards to the original. So, excellent purchase for me.

Excellent delivery and packaging and a great game for 2-4 players. Initial set up a play is a little deciding re complexity and soon created another favourite for competitive games nights with the family! Recommended card and tokens game : if you like Azul, Sequence, etc you’ll love this too.

We love this game! The game takes about 30 minutes to play, which is perfect for maintaining interest. It is a game of luck and strategy. Our grandchildren (aged 9 to 11) can play - and win - so it can be enjoyed by the whole family. It is easy to play but once you have played it a few times, you begin to develop diabolical strategies to beat your opponents. Beware, as it can become addictive and it can leave you seething with resentment when your opponent snatches victory just as you thought you had it in the bag!

I love this game! We have it already and offered it to a friend who was very happy. The design is amazing and the overall quality is great. Really good for those looking for a quick strategy game.

This game is excellent! I had an amazon voucher for my birthday recently so decided to buy a new board game. I’ve a few on my wish list, but wanted something that would be good for two players and saw this mentioned a few places online as being a good option, so thought I’d get it and see. I am so glad I did! When the game arrived, my husband read the blurb on the box, and said it sounded really boring, so I was worried it wouldn’t be enjoyed. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Splendor is a simple enough game, you get gem tokens and buy cards, thereby increasing your number of gems to buy more cards and gaining prestige. It doesn’t sound all that thrilling, but there is something so fun and enjoyable about the game, you just find yourself wanting to play again and again! I agree with some reviews that the end point of 15 points can feel a bit like stopping when you’re just getting started. We’ve tried ignoring that and playing until all the cards are gone and counting total points, or picking a higher number “end point” eg 25 instead. So depending on what you fancy you can play things a little differently. We’ve also tried dealing out a couple of the low level cards at the start as well, when playing with our children, which helps to get the game going a bit more quickly. Overall I can’t recommend this game enough, it’s so much fun, and really reasonably priced. Buy it, you won’t regret it!

I bought this for my fiance for Christmas and we both love playing this game. The video demonstrating how to play (found on YouTube) is a really good introduction to the game, and we picked up the rules of play quickly after watching this. The flow of the game is great, and the pace changes with you. There hasn't been a time yet where I've been bored waiting for someone to take a turn. The game pieces are made up of playing cards (of regular size and thick card material), square cardboard Noble tiles and plastic round discs. The round discs have a really good weight to them and feel a bit like good quality poker chips. All in all, I'd definitely Italy buy this game again and I'm currently looking at the expansion to go with the game as we enjoy it so much.

Cant stop playing this game it's very addictive! We really like it and so do our teenage children. It's really all about planning ahead so you dont waste a move. It involves set collection of different gems which in turn earn you bonuses that you can use straight away. Gives your brain a really good work out. Simple to learn and simple to teach. Well made t componements. Your very much playing for yourself and rushing to collect 15 points before the others. It's different to a lot of games. Playing time is about half hour or maybe a bit more. Very quick to set up and put away. You can almost start playing within a couple of minutes. Several different strategies can be applied but no clear way is the best to win which keeps the game fresh and interesting. We play loads of games but i think this one will be off the shelf pretty often. Infact since we purchased it it hasn't made the shelf as it hasn't left the table!

Great game, reminded me slightly of Ticket to Ride and Dragonwood with regards to game play, strategy and collecting points. Even my 6 year old and 9 year old love it. I just wish packaging with board games wasn't so wasteful, it would fit in a much smaller box... and then we wouldn't need so much storage for excessive box sizes on our shelves!

Wir sind absolut begeistert von Splendor! Dieses Spiel ist ein echter Gewinner, der sowohl Gelegenheitsspieler als auch erfahrene Brettspielenthusiasten gleichermaßen anspricht. Die Mischung aus strategischem Denken und einfachen Regeln macht es uns leicht zugänglich, während die Tiefe der Entscheidungen und das Streben nach Prestige und Reichtum für anhaltende Spannung sorgen. Die Qualität der Spielkomponenten, insbesondere die wunderschön gestalteten Edelsteine, verleiht dem Spiel eine taktile Freude. Die Mechanik des Kartenkaufs und -aufbaus ist faszinierend und eröffnet uns vielfältige Wege zum Sieg. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die kurze Spieldauer, die es ideal für schnelle Partien oder auch längere Spielabende macht. Splendor fördert strategisches Denken, Wettbewerbsgeist und Interaktion zwischen den Spielern, was zu unvergesslichen Spielerlebnissen führt. Insgesamt sind wir der Meinung, dass Splendor ein Juwel in der Welt der Brettspiele ist - ein echter Klassiker, der immer wieder auf den Tisch kommt und uns Freude bereitet.

easy to pick up. fun game bought only for $34 when on sale

J'ai vu une vidéo de présentation du jeu sur internet je me suis dis, tiens un jeu simple à expliquer et qui se joue rapidement ^^ ça change :) Je l'ai donc acheté et présenté à mes amis ! On est tous devenu accro ! Le système est très simple mais les stratégies multiples ! Après plus de 20-30 parties effectuées (à coup de 5-6 dans la soirée) j'en suis peut etre a 40-50 même et je ne m'en lasse toujours pas ! je pers je gagne (quelle fierté de gagner tellement j'ai ramé au début) ! Les jeton ressemble a des jetons de casino c'est agréable de sentir le poid des jetons quand on les manipule ! Les cartes (meme si on oublie de les regarder) sont de très bonnes qualité avec des illustrations vraiment jolies ! Je le recommande pour passer de très bonne soirées ^^

Terrible quality of materials, the cards and chips are made of cheap and thin paper. But it's enough to play neatly

Un excelente juego! Materiales de calidad y no es muy complicado de entender una vez lees las instrucciones y lo pruebas un par de veces. La razon por la cual me gusta más aun, es el hecho de poder jugar solo 2 personas y aun así ser muy divertido. Me encantan los juegos de mesa y este lo podemos jugar mi marido y yo sin tener que esperar a la "noche de juegos" con amigos. Muy recomendado!
