Product Overview

As the adult card game Space Cowboys Splendor Board Game continues to be a popular choice among gamers, I decided to give it a try. Since it can be played with 2 to 4 players and has an average playtime of 30 minutes, I knew it was the perfect game for my gaming night.

The objective of the game is for players to compete to build Renaissance Europe s most lucrative and prestigious jewelry business. Players vie for control of gem mines, trade routes, and storefronts to master the gem trade and attract the attention of nobles. By accruing more ways to produce gems, they work to accumulate victory points in a race for prestige and power. The completely variable setup provides nearly limitless replayability.

The game includes cardboard pieces, making it easy to store and set up quickly. It also comes with unique poker like tokens which are used to collect raw gems. I found that they were easy to keep track of when playing the game. Additionally, there are cards with mines, boats, caravans and even guild storefronts throughout the world as players attempt to become the best known merchant of them all.

In terms of learning how to play, I found that Space Cowboys Splendor Board Game was easy enough for anyone over 10 years old to pick up quickly without any prior knowledge about board games or knowledge about Renaissance Europe s jewelry industry. As someone who has tried many different card games before, I have to say that Splendor is definitely one of my favorites as it offers a different challenge every time you play it.

Overall, I highly recommend Space Cowboys Splendor Board Game as it offers hours of fun for any experienced or beginner gamer alike. With its easy setup and simple yet challenging gameplay mechanics, this board game is sure to provide entertainment for your next game night!
