Splendor Duel - Board Game Review - Now You Have Two Ways To Play

Description provided by The Broken Meeple on YouTube:

Splendor Duel - Board Game Review - Now You Have Two Ways To Play Sorry for the audio everyone. The battery was low on the microphone so the input quality degrades. It's now been replaced and future reviews are back up to speed. Just soldier through this one as at least I could salvage this one unlike the one I recorded afterwards! :-) Well 7 Wonders Duel was a massive hit, can Bruno do the same for Splendor when it was already decent at two players? Confront your rival guild in a race for victory. Take Gem and Pearl tokens from the common board, then purchase cards, gather bonuses, royal favours, and prestige. Discover new twists and strategic opportunities derived from Splendor, the original best-selling game. Acquire cards with impressive powers, take advantage of special Privileges, and fight over scarce access to Pearls. Splendor Duel is a two-player only standalone game based on Splendor that retains some of the main gameplay mechanisms of that design, while being a bit more complex, dynamic, interactive, rich, tense, and mean. *************************************** SUBSCRIBE ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjyHBcqxxQjrg0KUN944dQ?sub_confirmation=1 KIENDA SPONSOR REFERRAL LINK The Broken Meeple is happy to be sponsored by Kienda.co.uk where you can buy great games at great prices from a warehouse local to where I live!

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game. The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure). I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos! *************************************** Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and Promo 01:00 - Background and Overview 03:58 - 95% Familiar to Splendor Fans 04:55 - Produced Well But Fail On Sleeves! 06:06 - Did We Need A Duel Version of Splendor? 08:55 - Pretty Speedy Though Replenishment a Chore 10:10 - More Tactical Choices Than Splendor 12:58 - Summary and Verdict #brokenmeeple #dicetower #watchitplayed #boardgames #boardgame #boardgamingramblings #supportsmallcreators #tabletop #tabletopgames #splendor #boardgamer #boardgamereview *************************************** Useful Links Become a Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/TheBrokenMeeple Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/thebrokenmeeple Twitter ► https://twitter.com/TheBrokenMeeple Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/thebrokenmeeple Podcast ► https://soundcloud.com/luke-hector-broken-meeple
