Warning to future buyers: they are still advertising the online play for this game but they shut it down! Without warning too! One day just *poof* no more online play for anyone! I am quite upset at the lack of communication about this. I understand how hard it can be to keep code updated, but there was ZERO communication. They just left us to figure it out for ourselves. I will probably never buy something from …

UPDATE: It's 8/4/25 and online play appears to be back. Prospective customers should still be aware that it was down, without any public update, for several weeks -- and this is not the first time online play was down for an extended period of time. I would not consider online to be a reliable feature in the future. They appear to have unceremoniously ended support for online play?? Trying to play online gets a …

I enjoyed this quite a bit for a while, right until I realized that the AI is playing against the player and not each other. Once I started looking, I realized that the AI would take moves that would make no sense for a player who was trying to win and did not even target the leader (another AI). Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it happening all the time and that was no fun. If you are using this to play other humans …

Splendor has always been one of my favorite board games, and the digital version does a wonderful job of capturing the essence of what makes it so enjoyable — simple rules, deep strategy, and elegant design. My usual approach is to focus on efficient, low-cost cards while steadily working toward securing nobles. This strategy, while straightforward, often proves effective against AI opponents and highlights one of …

First time I played this game when my introverted ass miraculously managed to go to a nerd board game gathering (I loved it, I never went again). I loved the game so much and I got very excited seeing it has been available on Steam for years now. Of course I got it (with all the expansions). The game - as many board games - is very fun with other people, but even alone, playing against the bots works perfectly. It's …

66% of the 169 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Splendor. The complaint that keeps coming up: online multiplayer has been shut down without notice. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

neutral · AI labelView post →I tried the All Living Things demo, and it honestly looks really promising! This gorgeous puzzle game with a claymation style, and an alchemical theme reminds me a lot of the Splendor Solis, a 1582 tome of alchemy, with full page illustrations in the style of medieval books of hours.

neutral · AI labelView post →People joke about wanting to eat the pieces in Azul. We've all felt the reassuring heft of the jewel chips in Splendor. These are not ancillary details! They *are* the game. How they inflect your experience & interactions is the game. These aren't lesser aspects of the art.

If I activate the Splendor 61 times targeting my two opponents, will all 61 activations resolve, or will only some resolve? #mtg

positive · AI labelView post →Finally, a big fav of mine. @peersylvester.bsky.social delivered an incredible game with @ospreygames.bsky.social in The King is Dead 2nd Ed. I love this game but it suffered from Splendor syndrome of a box far too big for its game. Playte has taken this gem and polished it to the perfect size.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a user who sometimes had fun playing with my friends. I persuaded a new friend to buy a game to play today, but there's no notice and the game details page is still available for online play. It's still the same. If online is stopped, shouldn't you write that it's been stopped or patch it so that I can play online again? What's wrong with the new friend who bought the game and what else should I explain??

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent version, but Asmodee dropped online support with no notice at all. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from them. It seems once they get you to buy their products they stop supporting them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Board Game itself is fun and challenging. It's impossible to get into an Online Lobby. Don't bother buying this game until it gets fixed.

So I went to the board game cafe, met some lovely,welcoming people, ate some food, and played Splendor, Lords of Waterdeep, Jaipur, and Similo LotR. Feels MUCH better.

positive · AI labelView post →I really dislike leaving negative reviews on games, especially on games made by smaller studios. I'm sad then to have to leave one here. A quick list of all the problems I've encountered: The developers aren't actively involved anymore. Since I've had the game (just over 2 years), the online multiplayer has gone down twice, iirc. UI is pretty egregious (don't need to take my word for it though, just look at the screenshots). "Gold is Useless" Steam achievement is busted and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online multiplayer works again as of 18 August 2025! Props for supporting this game from 2015. This is a competent implementation of Splendor, lots of fun if you want a light, really lean engine-builder.
