Splendor transports you back to the Renaissance era, where you and your opponents play as merchants trying to build your own individual empires. Your job is to collect gems, build shops, and make partnerships with wealthy citizens on your way to commercial dominance. It’s an engine-building game (in fact, it’s on our list of the very best engine-building board games), so you build up various money-making schemes that keep on chugging when you’re not paying attention to them. Next step, take over the world.
It’s not one of those heavyweight games in terms of systems that take forever to learn how to play. It’s more beginner-friendly. In fact, if you have older kids, you could even play it as a family board game.
Splendor is always one of the more popular board games for the IGN audience, and for good reason. If you’re looking for a game with a bit of strategy that a wide range of players can play, it’s a rock-solid choice. And now it’s available for cheap, so pick it up before the deal ends. Amazon’s sale event only runs two days, and even though this deal isn’t explicitly a part of it (you don’t need Prime to take advantage), that doesn’t mean it’ll last.
