Splendor Duel

Splendor Duel is an exciting new 2-player game featuring unique and innovative mechanics, designed by renowned creators Marc André and Bruno Cathala. Will you claim the crown and outwit your rival guild in the race for victory?

Take Gems and Pearls from the shared board, gain Royal Favors, and amass prestige! Fans of Splendor will recognize the familiar Renaissance jewel theme, premium-quality components, and the card-and-token acquisition mechanics that enhance prestige and purchasing power. But Splendor Duel introduces an entirely fresh experience with new rules and game elements: a shared board, Privilege figurines, and Royal Favor cards. The iconic gem tokens return in a compact format, now joined by Pearls as a new resource. The cards offer diverse abilities and multiple characteristics, unlocking extra rounds, bonus tokens, and strategic opportunities to achieve one of three distinct victory conditions.

This standalone game is perfect for Splendor enthusiasts eager to explore new strategies and 2-player game fans looking for an intense, fast-paced duel that wraps up in under 30 minutes.

No other Splendor products are needed to play—everything you need for a thrilling duel is included!

Splendor Duel is intended for a wide range of players: Splendor fans who want to discover the game’s new rules and have a go at new tactics, and the 2-player game fans who will experience a fierce duel in less than 30 minutes

This is a standalone product, no other Splendor product is required to play
