Splendor

Product Review (submitted on January 16, 2017):

This a very enjoyable game - for a few people or a moderate group.

The quality of the game materials - in particular, the poker chips - is beyond compare. And they need to be high quality as they are handled quite a bit during the game.

This is a good game for both gamers and non-gamers alike. The game mechanism (essentially, using 'energy' of 5 different colors to build an engine to acquire more energy more efficiently) is deceptively simple and is also very numerically deep (for those who like to plan their turns and min/max).

It's really funny to watch a group play - after about 10 or 15 minutes, suddenly they all stop talking and are just intently staring at the pieces, trying to play their next moves.

Ideal for 3-5.
