Splendor

As a wealthy Renaissance merchant, acquire mines and transportation, hire artisans and woo the nobility. Buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points in this game of chip-collecting and card development. Players take turns to collect gem chips or buy and build cards. All of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.

Use your gems and gold to create the most fantastic jewelry, and appeal to the nobles to gain the prestige you need to win and become the best-known merchant in the world.
