Board Game Arena

Two exciting new variants are now available on Splendor via Board Game Arena, coinciding with the simultaneous release of the physical expansion, available now in all good game stores.
This expansion introduces two new modules, which can be played separately or combined with other Splendor variants:
 

• Place your fortresses and mark your territory.
• Discover the wonders of the Orient and enjoy new powers.

 
And don't forget that you can also use the other expansions:
 

• Cities replace nobles with unique objectives, representing exceptional jewelry masterpieces from around the globe: Amboise, Kraków, Delhi, Madrid, Samarkand, Seoul, Timbuktu… Each city has its own extravagant demands- can you rise to the challenge?

 

• Trading Posts introduce progressive bonuses that players unlock as they acquire cards, adding fresh dynamics to the game without increasing complexity or extending game time.

 
With this expansion, the race for wealth enters a whole new dimension- whether on the table or online. Adapt to the shifting rules of global trade- and let your empire shine!
 
You can explore this new Splendor expansion right now by enabling the options in your game settings:

A big thank you to the Space Cowboys team, Marc André, and of course the developers dahrf and BoucleMed for their great adaptation.

That's it for this Friday's release- just in time to enjoy a sunny weekend!
Take care, play fair, and see you next week!

Aren't the cities and trading posts from the previous expansion?

Does a win using one of the expansions count as wining a new game, or have you already got your 5pt bonus for winning the original Splendour?

Yes, some confusion here.

Sun Never Sets includes Orient and Strongholds. Silk Road added Cities and Trading Posts.

You guys fell asleep at the wheel here. This expansion is already out on BGA and in stores. You're supposed to be talking about Orient and Strongholds.

yeah, Cities and Trading Posts are already out on BGA and they are the current Arena settings for Splendor.

Wishful Wishing for a few others:
Can we please have Pokémon Splendor?
We understand there may be IP issues, but we hold on to hope.
Thank you very much BGA, keep up the good work.

Five hours later and this announcement still isn't fixed...

I thought you said all the releases this week were garden related.
