About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already mastered the gems and trade routes of Splendor and are looking for an extra touch of challenge and variety, these four new noble tiles are just what you need! Released as promos, they bring historical figures like Lucrezia Borgia, Anne Boleyn, Manuel I of Portugal, and Sigismund II Augustus to enrich your games. Each noble demands a specific combination of gems to be claimed, and the best part: their requirements differ from the base game nobles, forcing you to devise new strategies.
These tiles are discreetly marked with a 'P' in the corner, so you don't confuse them with the originals. The artwork adds a special touch, featuring two female and two male nobles, all with a cool aesthetic that fits perfectly into the game's atmosphere. Their inclusion is super simple: just shuffle them with the base game's noble tiles and follow the normal rules. They don't change the essence of Splendor – which remains a fast, elegant, and addictive game of set collection and resource optimization – but they add that extra spice that veterans love. Get ready for new combinations and more competition for the most coveted nobles!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Does this expansion significantly change Splendor's rules?
No, it only adds 4 new noble tiles with different requirements. The base game remains the same, but with more scoring options.
Do I need the base game Splendor to use these cards?
Absolutely! These are promotional tiles that function as an addition to the main game.
How many players does Splendor support with this promo?
The promotional noble tiles do not change the player count. Splendor remains for 2 to 4 players.

No, Splendor's playtime (around 30 minutes) remains the same. Adding these tiles might even speed up some games, depending on the strategy.
What is the complexity of these new tiles?
