SPLENDOR: Diamonds are a gamer's best friend...

[LeftCoaster]

Is it possible to play to some "house" rules?
With the board game we play to 30 but a player can just have 2 nobles.
With more players then less to win (5 players = 25 points).
We've found that this makes for much closer games.

Awesome news!
Cant wait to try it out.

I love this board game!
Thank you!

In competitive mode, game assists are disabled :
- No visual difference between cards you can buy and cards you can reserve
- No "show remaining costs" option
- No auto-spend gold option : When you own gold you control whether to spend it or keep it.

Would be great if this would be added to the game rules.

Fantastic!If you have to say that there is something not good enough, it is that the rainbow has 7 colors, and the gems are only 6.

Good luck and have fun~

Held off with comments but they have doubled. I went "oooh" when I saw it. No flanders either?"

If ever you can’t see Flanders... you’re simply not looking hard enough

Look to the right, a smurf appears.

Does anyone know more about their fascination with Flanders?


We have a house rule that if you reserve from the top deck, you choose from the top 2, 3 or 4 cards (lowest to highest cost rows). This removes part of the randomness.
We also start with an expensive (choose between 2) card, to set up some strategy between players.
