The digital version of Splendor faithfully adapts all the various elements of the Space Cowboys’ award-winning board game:

  • Fast and easy to learn, yet hard to master.
  • Lavish graphics and cards, true to the original game.
  • “Renaissance” graphical and musical ambiance.
  • Solo mode, pass & play and online multiplayer (2 to 4 players).
  • An exclusive game mode: scenario-based “Challenges”.
  • Historically-accurate background stories for Challenges set in the 15th to 16th centuries.
  • Multiple types of Artificial Intelligence, based on unique strategy behaviors instead of difficulty.
  • 3-minute step-by-step interactive tutorial to learn the game and digital interface.
  • Achievements board.
  • Worldwide leaderboards and rank system by connecting with a Days of Wonder account.

Splendor introduces a special game mode, called Challenges. Challenges are based on historical events and anecdotes of the 15th and 16th centuries, setting up a real scenario in various places across the world. They teach you advanced techniques and offer rules variants. They put the player in unique situations with a goal to reach. Either earn a certain number of points or pick up a special card combination, in a limited time or limited number of moves.
Become a game expert and achieve 48 challenges along the trading routes of the world (Madrid, St. Petersburg…), not to mention duels facing great historical figures such as Charles V or Marie Stuart.

Keep on the adventure with Splendor's Expansions : The Cities and The Strongholds

One of the all time greatest games. Strategy, variety from one game to the next. It is a lot of fun and easy to understand but takes time to master. I like the timed rating on this digital version.

I really dislike leaving negative reviews on games, especially on games made by smaller studios. I'm sad then to have to leave one here. A quick list of all the problems I've encountered: The developers aren't actively

Meh. The one who goes first usually wins. (9 of 10 games) Reason? He has highest chance to get the "nobles" and the neccessary prestige points first. The last players rea always on the short end. Unable to plan ahead.

Fun for quick games of Splendor. AI presents a decent challenge. I find myself playing this one quite a bit and would recommend to anyone who wants to play against an AI.

This is a fun game. It's a pretty good implementation of the tabletop game and has decent AI players. I expect to enjoy this as part of my collection for many years to come.
