- “Renaissance” graphical and musical ambiance.
- Solo mode, pass & play and online multiplayer (2 to 4 players).
- An exclusive game mode: scenario-based “Challenges”.
- Historically-accurate background stories for Challenges set in the 15th to 16th centuries.
- Multiple types of Artificial Intelligence, based on unique strategy behaviors instead of difficulty.
- 3-minute step-by-step interactive tutorial to learn the game and digital interface.
- Achievements board.
- Worldwide leaderboards and rank system by connecting with a Days of Wonder account.
Splendor introduces a special game mode, called Challenges. Challenges are based on historical events and anecdotes of the 15th and 16th centuries, setting up a real scenario in various places across the world. They teach you advanced techniques and offer rules variants. They put the player in unique situations with a goal to reach. Either earn a certain number of points or pick up a special card combination, in a limited time or limited number of moves.
Become a game expert and achieve 48 challenges along the trading routes of the world (Madrid, St. Petersburg…), not to mention duels facing great historical figures such as Charles V or Marie Stuart.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This is clearly a really mediocre mobile game ported to PC. The interface and UI are so bad as to make the game completely unfun. I was really hoping this would be a great digital board game experience like Ticket to Ride but it's not. I waited until it was two or three dollars and I still didn't think it was worth it.
It is a fun game. i especially like the Trade variety. What I absolutely hate is that you need internet connection to play solo (expect the basic game). There is no need.
cool
Pretty on par with the physical card game, though you will run into some bugs from time to time. Overall quick and fun, despite the issues.
Good game
Love Splendor. Challenging, short game.
