Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn your turn, you may (1) collect chips (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve one card. If you collect chips, you take either three different kinds of chips or two chips of the same kind. If you buy a card, you pay its price in chips and add it to your playing area. To reserve a card—in order to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents don't get it—you place it in front of you face down for later building; this costs you a round, but you also get gold in the form of a joker chip, which you can use as any gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/\/2A0CQ0xsrv0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWARDS \u0026amp; HONORS\u003cbr\u003e2015 Origins Awards Best Card Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2015 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2015 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Family Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2015 Hungarian Board Game Award Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2015 Gioco dell’Anno Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2015 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Vuoden Peli Adult Game of the Year Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Vuoden Peli Adult Game of the Year\u003cbr\u003e2014 UK Games Expo Best New Boardgame Winner\u003cbr\u003e2014 Tric Trac Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Tric Trac de Bronze\u003cbr\u003e2014 Spiel des Jahres Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Meeples' Choice Winner\u003cbr\u003e2014 Meeples' Choice Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Lys Grand Public Finalist\u003cbr\u003e2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Winner\u003cbr\u003e2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork \u0026amp; Presentation Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2014 Board Game Quest Awards Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2014 Board Game Quest Awards Best Family Game Nominee\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Space Cowboys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42864437231664,"sku":"SCSPL03EN","price":21.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0291\/2134\/7632\/files\/3558380124474.jpg?v=1774288840","url":"https:\/\/thenewgme.com\/products\/splendor-the-silk-road-expansion","provider":"Game Master's Emporium (The New GME)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
