The new Splendor graphics make it too hard for a me as a person living with vision impairment to see the cards and coins. Unless BGA reverts back to the old style graphics I will not be playing Splendor any more. Sad because Splendor at BGA was the main reason I went to a Premium membership. If the new Splendor graphics remain then I will not be renewing my premium membership. Please BGA consider players living with low-vision before you make changes.

Really unkind.

Please, give us an option to switch to the old graphics!

Agree! Was just talking about this with someone I play with regularly. We don’t like it. It is very hard to tell the difference. Just want it to be like the actually game as much as possible. Change it back please!!

Take mercy on us and revert the UI change. It is intolerable and diminishes enjoyment of the game significantly.

Plus 1 vote for "BRING BACK THE PRIGINAL THEME" please.. too much noise, unnecessary change. Rather than this why not bring the expansion option? Thank you

That’s the problem. The new graphics here on BGA are the new graphics used by the actual game:

I really want to know the story behind why Space Cowboys changed the illustrations. One of the hallmarks of Splendor was its beautiful artwork.

I agree that the new graphics in Splendor make the game difficult to read and less pleasant to play. I am sensitive to flashing lights; the new graphics start the same feelings that I get before I get a headache.

Can the old graphics be an option? I really do not want to reduce the amount that I play this game.

Thank you.

I also find the new graphics to be messy, noisy and confusing. But also, why do all of the cards flash blue on your turn? The ones you can buy flash green, fair enough, but why have all the others flashing blue? It just adds to the visual noise and confusion. I know that the people who made this change probably did it for free, and I don't want to disrespect them. But this just doesn't work.

PSA: there are two bug reports you can upvote to hopefully encourage developers to fix this issue:

• https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=131106 (option to revert to original graphics)

and

• https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=131107 (fix the new graphics to improve readibility)
