Splendor

Splendor — one of our most-played games, and one of the best engine builders available at any weight.

Collect gem tokens — represented by satisfying weighted poker chips — and spend them to buy development cards that give you permanent gem discounts. Buy more cards, get more discounts, and soon you’re acquiring powerful cards for free as your engine hums along. The snowball of discounts building into free cards is one of the most satisfying feelings in board gaming. Fast, elegant, and endlessly replayable.

Splendor is maybe our most played game and it’s easy to see why. The engine building feel — collecting cards that give discounts that let you get more cards — is genuinely satisfying, and the poker chip gems are lovely to hold and play with. One of the cleanest game designs around. Easy to teach, impossible to get tired of.
