Two modules to flavor your Splendor game, from "cities of splendor", with minor adjustments. Dominate Trade within the Cities and discover new victory conditions for each game. The Cities replaces the noble tiles with 3 different city tiles (randomly taken from a pool of 14). The city tiles are objectives (in prestige points and/or development cards) and you need to fulfill one of them in order to win. Create Trading Posts and leverage their unique powers to maximize your prestige. The Trading Posts are special bonuses you earn by acquiring an array of development cards: more prestige points from the 1st noble tile you receive, an extra token when you choose the "Take 2 gem tokens of the same color" action, and so on.
