Splendor Duel

Co-designed by Marc André and Bruno Cathala specifically for two players, Splendor Duel reimagines the gem-drafting classic around a shared five-by-five grid board filled with heavy poker-style gem, gold, and pearl tokens. On your turn you draft up to three contiguous tokens in a straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, spend privilege scrolls to pluck single gems out of sequence, and purchase jewel cards loaded with crowns, extra turn actions, and three separate victory paths that keep every thirty-minute duel on a knife-edge.
