Hi Splendor Players !

We are about to push a small UI update. this update will hopefully fix two of the biggest player-reported issues.

- Changes in the "Show remaining costs" feature
This feature is very useful for a lot of players, but the fact that it's not enabled on "competitive" game mode surprises some players who are then confused by the changing costs on cards.
The feature is not an option anymore, it will always be OFF as a default, and it was moved to a clickable symbol in the player area :


Just click on the eye to enable it, click again to disable it.

-Visible reserved cards in the log
Visible cards reserved by opponents are now available in the log.
Hover with your mouse (or touch) the underlined text to show a tooltip of the reserved card.


Please report your feedback here:

Please address the sound issue that has been reported. I can’t play this game since it makes un-muteable sounds

I would personally find the 'show remaining costs' feature much more useful if it had an option to show what was left after your cards, not your cards + coins, because then you could use it for planning multiple purchases, not just your next one

Awesome -- neat features! Thanks!

Great changes thank you.

+1 agreed

visible reserved cards: good that this is now conforming with the game rules.
BUT the game log is a silly place to implement this, as it involves fiddly scrolling, especially for long held reserved cards.
Why not show them in the player areas on right of screen - this is already done for a players own reserved cards. (Maybe enlarge on mouseover)

The change made it unplayable for colorblind people!
They took away the small shapes of the gems near every color, isn't there a way to bring that back? Or enable it again?
If you can't tell colors apart the only way to play the game is using the shapes of the gems.

This was an unexpected change and was reverted.

Sweet! This game has the best implementation and interface of all games I have tried here on BGA so far
