The award-winning Splendor returns with a fresh, strategic take on its classic drafting and engine-building gameplay. Designed exclusively for two players, Splendor Duel delivers a tense, tightly contested experience that will feel familiar to fans of the original while introducing new mechanisms and deeper tactical choices.
Players draft Gem, Gold, and rare Pearl tokens from a shared 5×5 grid. On each turn, you can take up to three tokens in a consecutive line, but every selection changes the shape of the board. As tokens are removed, gaps appear and restrict which tokens can be taken on future turns, making every decision matter.
Build your engine, collect valuable gems, acquire powerful cards, and carefully manage the shared board as you race to achieve one of the game's victory conditions.
Co-designed by Marc André, creator of Splendor, and Bruno Cathala, designer of 7 Wonders Duel and Kingdomino, Splendor Duel is a fast-paced and highly strategic two-player game that expands the beloved Splendor series with fresh ideas and meaningful new decisions.
