Splendor: Duel

The well - acclaimed game Splendor makes a comeback with this new version of its classic drafting gameplay. Renowned for its smart engine - building, Splendor Duel provides a streamlined two - player experience that fans of the original game will quickly recognize. It also brings in new choices and mechanics for more in - depth strategic play. Suitable for ages 10 and up, this game is designed for 2 players and takes about 30 minutes to play. The new common board allows players to pick Gem, Gold, and rare Pearl tokens from a 5x5 grid. You can only pick up to 3 tokens in a row. When you take tokens, it creates gaps on the board, which will affect your future token choices.

How to play: First, set up the 5x5 grid with Gem, Gold, and rare Pearl tokens. Two players then take turns drafting tokens from the grid. Remember, you can only pick up to 3 tokens in a consecutive line. Try to think ahead about how taking tokens will create gaps and limit your future moves. Notice that the game is designed for ages 10 and up, so younger players might need some help understanding the strategy. As for maintenance, keep the tokens in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. If the tokens get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Have fun playing this exciting two - player game!
