Let’s Play: Splendor
July 25, 2017 by crew
Az is joined by Justin and Dawn as they play Splendor from Space Cowboys.
In this game, the players take on the roles of Renaissance merchants who are each striving to build the largest gem crafting empire.
Using their amassed gem fortune they can earn prestige and win the favour of the nobles of the land, and ultimately the game.
Have you beaten the fifteen points in twenty-four turns challenge?

loving all of these boardgame Lets Play sessions 🙂
Nice one, can see Justin is from the Emerald Ile
Im loving these board game lets plays. Ive never been much of a Euro style board game fan but because of these lets plays I have a few I need to buy! Thanks!
Great playthrough video guys. Cry havoc from portal games would be a good choice for another lets play. 3 player asymetrical area control game with combat and resource management between players.
Had a cheeky game of Splendor on the app after watching this 🙂
I didn’t think this would interest me but after watching the playthrough I had to go buy the app. It gets very challenging once you get into 3 and 4 player games, trying to account for what everyone is trying to do.
The app and all the challenges will eat your free time, be warned! 😀
Splendor definitely isn’t the most electrifying game to watch played but I wanted to share it with the BoW community as I felt it’s such a simple and enjoyable title. Every time I break it out, 10 minutes in, everyone has a contented thoughtful enjoyment going on 🙂 Az
Do you have a copy we can play at BOWHQ?
I am moving house to be near the office this weekend @xaerin and will gladly bring it in or lend it out 🙂 Az
It took me a while to figure out what you were actually doing. But when you get it the rules/mechanics are quite simple.
Still I’d probably just be hoarding the shiny cards. 🙂
Damn! That’s another one for my list. Really enjoyed this one, it needs high winged back chairs, a fine brandy and quilted smoking jackets all around!
That is a mightily perfect description <3 count me in! Az
Ooh – Grats – you just made “Video of the Week” on BoardGameGeek’s newsletter!
Oh great catch sir, thank you for letting us know 🙂 Az
Dare I mention there’s a very usable App version of this? One of the things that gets me through my long commutes in and out of London!
Great play through, game looks really sweet. Two suggestions for play throughs from me would be Star Trek Ascendancy and Great Western Trail. Keep up the good content amigos. 🙂
