Ah, a fun little board game to play today. I have actually played this once in person with some friends, I think, but it's been so long that I forgot the rules. I wish I could say I planned carefully for swiping victory at the end, but honestly I kinda just played for the moment. The challenge solitaire mode is pretty interesting, but I wish they would have stuck with either turn limits or time limits instead of both.

Splendor is a 2014 board game from Marc André and Pascal Quidault. Playing the role of gem merchants, players attempt to use their resources to purchase mines and win the favor of nobles. Featuring expansions that increase the strategic complexity and an Avengers inspired spin-off, Splendor is a game that rewards both moment to moment capitalization on opportunities and long term strategy and is appropriate for all ages.
