Starlit Citadel reviews Splendor, with Kaja Sadowski and Joanna Gaskell. Splendor is a fast-paced and addictive 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. It plays with 2-4 players in about 30 minutes.

Out of my collection of 80+ board and card games, just under MtG, Splendor is by far my favorite game. The iPad app is seriously a good tool to learn and you can bring those skills to the table.

Welcome Back! My concerns are similar to your's. I've played it a few times, and wouldn't say "no" to playing it. But I wouldn't suggest it myself.

I want to jump up and down cause you guys did not love it as much as I do, but while I would like to be that childish, I couldn't, all the small criticisms where totally fair and I get it and that I think makes it a great review.

I really love these reviews. They are some of the most insightful game reviews out there. I really like this one too. I was thinking of getting this game but haven't played it. This is the only review I have seen that attempts to explain the feel and style of the game. It looks like there is more to this than a simple family card game, and a bit more aggressive as well. It looks good. Thanks.

I enjoy this game a lot. My gaming group thoroughly enjoys multiple rounds of Splendor and even when I feel like I am ahead, someone always trumps me in the end. Great strategic game with a the right players.

I don't think I've ever had a game go longer than 45 minutes and that's rare, even with players with AP.

I love Splendor! I fell in love with it the first time I played, and I would bring it out a a gateway game for new players every time.

I'm told Viceroy is a harder version of Splendor, so I kickstarted that and am looking forward to that arriving. The theme is very transferrable form what I can see.

Awesome as always!

Yep, I really enjoy Splendor, but it is always played in total silence (with just an occasional curse when another player takes "your" card/token /noble... X

WO! Count me among those totally boggled by the lighting. It's only a big deal because it is so jarring it actually distracts from an otherwise good review.

You guys aren't going to try to get a crowdfunded season 5 or you haven't decided yet?

@StarlitCitadel 9 жыл бұрын

Well, Season 5 is a long way away so we will see. If everyone is willing to continue, Patreon allows us to just continue producing and charging without running another campaign.

Sounds like a poor mans Pastiche. Pastiche being a is a fantastic game by Gryphon Games.

It seems your problems here aren't with the game but rather with your play group. I don't find my plays of Splendor to be any more serious than Dominion or King's Forge or Dice Masters, games that play in under an hour. And I've never even had a 4-player games last over an hour.
