Splendor Duel // Asmodee

Splendor is a wonderful title, a game of merchants travelling to shops to rake in gem mines to earn the most prestige and become incredibly wealthy, due to your success. Now developing into a one-on-one duel, building on the original, Splendor Duel will feature new tactics and rules to account for the new player count, which will bring new complex additions to winning.

With now three different unique winning conditions, players will now have the addition of abilities on certain cards to elongate the round and provide some bonuses for each involved merchant.
