Splendor Duel is the new standalone 2 player game set in the "Splendor" world. Splendor Duel features the same satisfying engine building as the original splendor game, but Splendor Duel does some really cool things that set it apart. When we first played Splendor Duel we were curious whether it had enough to warrant making it its own game - concerned that it might just be Splendor with the word Duel on the cover.
In this video we go through how the game plays, and then discuss our thoghts on it, and answer all of the above questions about Splendor Duel and how it compares to Splendor.
From the Publisher
Confront your rival guild in a race for victory. Take Gem and Pearl tokens from the common board, then purchase cards, gather bonuses, royal favours, and prestige.
Discover new twists and strategic opportunities derived from Splendor, the original best-selling game. Acquire cards with impressive powers, take advantage of special Privileges, and fight over scarce access to Pearls.
Splendor Duel is a two-player only standalone game based on Splendor that retains some of the main gameplay mechanisms of that design, while being a bit more complex, dynamic, interactive, rich, tense, and mean.
The game features a main board shared by both opponents, card powers, and three victory conditions.
