Description

Wow! What a fast moving, fun, easy to learn and challenging two-person game. It comes in a small box that will be great to bring on trips and it is strategic and satisfying enough for repeated plays. In this game, players randomly place gemstones on the main board then take turns choosing gems, reserving cards and purchasing cards with their collected gems. Cards will be either red, green, blue, black or white to match their respective gemstones. Once played, these cards gain economies on future card purchases, immediate bonuses and/or game-end scoring points. Some of the cards have crowns that players collect towards game end objectives as well as to gain additional bonus cards. The game ends when the first player meets one of three conditions: 1.) Collect a total of 12 crowns, 2.) Play cards with a total of 20 points, or 3). Have a ten point total among played cards in any single color. I found this game easy to pick up, learn and teach but yet deep enough in strategy that I easily rank it as one of my favorite new games of 2022. For two players with 30 minute game play. - - Marsha

Publisher's Description of Splendor Duel Game

The award-winning game Splendor returns with this fresh take on its classic drafting gameplay. Featuring the clever engine building that Splendor is known for, Splendor Duel offers a compact, tight two-player experience that will be instantly recognizable to fans of the original game, while also adding new decisions and mechanisms that offer deeper strategic options.

The new common board has players drafting Gem, Gold and rare Pearl tokens from a 5x5 grid. Only allowed to draft up to 3 tokens in a consecutive line, taking tokens will create gaps in the board and will limit how many and what kind of token players will be able to take in future turns.

Co-designed by Marc André (Splendor) and Bruno Cathala (7 Wonders Duel, Kingdomino), Splendor Duel is an exciting new entry in the Splendor product line.
