RE: Cities Of Splendor: A Review Of 4 Wacky Expansions To An Already Wonderful Game
Splendour was recommended to me by a friend recently as a good game for my wife and kids (maybe when they grow up a little). It's supposed to be not too hard core, so a good gateway into table top games. I had forgotten about it, thanks for the reminder, I'm going to add it to my Amazon wish list!
I love teaching kids how to play this (earliest age was 5) because they learn it faster than many adults do and win through really crazy means. It is so easy to learn but requires so much strategy and thinking ahead to master. Your family will love playing it together. The artwork is lovely, and all of its symbols are easy to follow. Your main options revolve around taking 1 of 3 major choices per turn. It is a wonderfully balanced game, worth every penny, and easy to travel with. Do buy some card sleeves for it though :)
Perfect, my oldest is 6, I was wondering if she needed to be older before trying. But if you managed with a 5 year old, maybe I should try now.
I think you are in for a good time.
Have you tried it yet?
Afraid not, I ordered it. But got a Spanish version! I am travelling at the moment, so I will reorder it when I get back in a couple of weeks.
Best of luck. Also...the rules are in PDF form on their site. :)
