Splendor is a token-collection and card development game. Players are Renaissance merchants trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, and shops, aiming to acquire the most prestige points.
During your turn, you can (1) collect tokens (gems), (2) purchase and build a card, or (3) reserve a card. If you collect tokens, you can take three different types of tokens or two tokens of the same type. If you purchase a card, you pay its cost in tokens and add it to your area. To reserve a card, ensuring you will acquire it, you place it face down in front of you for later, which costs you a turn, but you also receive gold in the form of a joker token, which you can use as any gem.
All the cards you purchase increase your wealth, as they provide you with a permanent gem bonus for future purchases; some of these cards also offer prestige points. To win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents.
