Splendor is a gem that keeps shining in the world of boardgames. The game entices players with a variety of strategies to explore, as multiple paths to victory dynamically unfold through the drawing of cards and a random initial setup. This ensures fresh and exciting experiences with each game, while maintaining a remarkable short playing time of around 30 minutes. I highly recommend Splendor to anyone seeking an elegant and delightful gaming experience.

Fast turns + Lots of room for planning and employing different strategies + Extremely easy to learn and teach + Great components + Very quick setup + I've played it well over 200 times with a variety of people and it's still simply amazing!

Smooth as silk tableau-building game. Fast and addictive. Rating is lower due to lower interactivity and less than exciting engine-building. BUT- it is very good at what it sets out to do.*Edit* Raised from 9 to 9.5 because I will basically never say no to a game of this. The only thing that keeps it from a 10 is that we've played it so much that it feels like we've seen it all.
