    Splendor Deserves Better!
    2 out of 5 stars
    Splendor Deserves Better!
    tl;dr: It's not worth it. Keep the original Splendor safe in your memory.Splendor is an easy-to-learn, fun-to-play game that my geeky family loves. This set provides some optional game play techniques that range from very easy to advanced. Unfortunately, I can't say that they add anything that is as exciting as the original deserves.Having played all of the options, maybe 1 is worthy of any attention because it turns a simple game into a brain teaser.Problems with this set include:1) It's an expansion that does not create room for the contents of the original game despite there being plenty of space. Unless you're in cahoots with Broken Token or plan for significant expansions like Carcassonne, this is just rude to the consumer.2) It costs double the price of the original game but doesn't have the pieces to justify it.3) The rules are vague and not well thought out. The lack of clarification and ill-considered game play make this look like a haste job to follow up a successful initial product. Example: In 1 version you can earn the ability to take any token with the purchase of a card. Does this mean yellow (wild card) tokens?Splendor deserves a better follow-up than this.

    Adds depth to an already fun game. Containing four new expansions, this is about expanding the core experience, not just adding some new Noble cards.

    The cities expansion replaces Nobles with a 3 cities, each requiring a different set of bonuses or prestige points to earn. The game ends when a player obtains a city first, or if you obtain at the same time as your opponents, the one with the most overall prestige wins. I enjoyed this and it changed the game up and added a higher level or trying to mess with and block your opponents.

    Strongholds gives each player three towers which they use to place on face up cards or remove towers their opponents placed. Once all three of your towers are up, you can buy the card after your regular action, so it will enable, if allowed by your opponents, almost a second turn. I didn't particularly care for this expansion and didn't really get the point of it.

    The Orient contains 30 new cards or ten per each level of Splendor. These cards, once purchased can add to your bonuses, give you two gold tokens at once, reserve a noble and even earn prestige points by discarding bonus colors, among other abilities. This expansion is pretty fascinating and really changes the way you play the game, offering even more opportunities for victory.

    Finally Trading Posts is the final expansion in the box. A small sideboard is added and each player gains five tokens. At the end of your turn, if you meet the right requirements, you place your token on one of the powers. These offer cool bonuses like bonus prestige points or having each gold token count for two. This is another great expansion that really adds to and changes the base game, as well as mixes up the traditional game strategies.

    At the same price as the base game, this is still a requires buy, especially if you really enjoy the base game of Splendor. I highly recommend this and it remains a staple in between bigger games on our game nights.

    The variants are all decent, and they all have unique twists to the strategy and tactics needed to win. For the two of us, it was worth every penny. We have had a blast with each variant game. We love the base game, which has immense replay value (we play it frequently...), and the four expansion variants just add to the whole of the game. Glad we took a chance on it. Cheers!

    If you love splendor like I do, this expansion adds 4 new different ways of playing Splendor that adds a little bit of flair. I still love the original Splendor since at it's core it's a beautiful simplistic yet strategic game. The new expansions are a nice breath of fresh air but I wouldn't default to them really, only if my wife and I are feeling spicy and want a change of pace from the OG Splendor. That being said, the expansion instructions are suscinct and straight to the point. We played The Cities which alters the win-condition which was an easy enough change in the game that isn't mind-numbingly complicated but just enough to spice things up. I read through the instructions for the Trading Posts and it left a lot of questions in my opinion with how the trading posts interact with other core mechanics in the game. Overall, not a terrible expansionn, if you can grab this on sale, definitely do so, but not worth it full price in my honest opinion.
