About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game enthusiasts! It's time to spice up your Splendor game with this promo card that came straight from the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender. This little gem, the Guillaume Budé Noble, adds an extra layer of challenge and strategy without overcomplicating things. It requires 4 blue and 4 red gems to claim, granting you 3 precious points. Think of it as just another common noble, ready to be mixed into your main deck of nobles if you're already using that variant in your game. It's a neat way to inject a bit of novelty into those familiar matches you've mastered. However, pay attention: if you're planning to use the 'Cities of Splendor' expansion, this promo card won't work with its specific module, got it? Oh, and for those who love collecting promos, know that this card had a version with different artwork released during a Game Boy Geek campaign back in 2017, and it reappeared again in a 2021 campaign. So, if you're a Splendor fan and enjoy having those exclusive cards that add a little extra flavor, this one's for you! It's a small addition that can make a big difference in your quest for victory, while maintaining the smooth gameplay and fun we already know and love in Splendor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is this card a full expansion or just an extra card?
It's just a promotional card that adds a noble. You need the base Splendor game to use it.
How many Splendor players does this card support?
Just like the base game, this card works for 2 to 4 players.
What's the complexity of this card? Does it change the game much?
The complexity is quite low. It functions like any other noble, adding an extra objective without altering the main rules.
Do I need a specific version of Splendor to use this card?
You need the base Splendor game and ideally the part that includes the nobles. It's not compatible with the specific module from the 'Cities of Splendor' expansion.
Where can I get this card?
Originally, it came in the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender. Versions with different artwork were available through Game Boy Geek campaigns in 2017 and 2021.
Is it worth it for someone who already has the 'Cities of Splendor' expansion?
If you play with the base game's nobles, yes, it adds another option. But remember, it doesn't interact with the modules of the 'Cities of Splendor' expansion.
