Regarding the Optional actions: On your turn, you first perform none, one, or both of the optional actions (in the indicated order). Then, you must perform one mandatory action.

I have played a lot of splendor and have seen already two other non-sponsored videos for this game and this video is the best as far as describing the set up and how the game works very quickly. You are also the only one who did not ridicule reserving a blind card with a gold. I have played a lot of splendor, including many games with sharks who will regularly beat me in under 15 minutes, and where reserving blind is a part of the game. not every game but definitely it shows up often.

@lesliegilmore2240 Год назад

Thanks for the great tutorial. One question came up when we played. What about the gem cards that don’t have a bonus gem or the “match any gem” option in the upper right corner? They are the grey cards and you laid one out in the top row of your tutorial. We got one and didn’t know if the points are applied in any gem row or none. It was important for us because one of us went for the 10pts in one gem category win option.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Because it doesn't have a colored gem, it's not part of any of the colored sets - it just provides the points printed on it (but doesn't count as it's own column or anything)

@Novica89 Год назад

Enjoyed every second of this! :) Would you recommend me getting Splendor or Splendor Duel as a first game? Gonna play it with the wife mostly, but perhaps sometimes a few more people as well, so I'm wondering how much better (or is it better even) is Duels compared to regular Splendor when there are 2 people playing ?

A great video, as usual! I also jusdt got the game and played it. While I was playing I noticed something which isn't covered at all in the rules: Grey cards without bonuses. It doesn't say if they all go in a seperate column, or each in its own... Actually the rules don't mention cards without bonuses at all.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Followed up with the publisher. Grey cards that don't have the "wild" effect, do not go into any of the columns, and only count towards the 20 point victory condition (they do not create their own color column that you can use to win for the 10 point victory condition). Hope that helps!

Can you tell me why you would put a grey card with the gem bonus symbol onto the grey card with the 6? I don’t understand why you would do that, but maybe I’ve missed out on something. Wouldn’t be the first time in this game 😅

@WatchItPlayed 4 месяца назад

If you're referring to 14:25 in the video - that was me discussing the benefit of having a certain number of crown symbols (not really meaning to suggest how that card would be used in an actual game situation, where you wouldn't put it on a grey card). Sorry if that caused any confusion.

Great video! One question: if I have a privilege and use it to take one pink pearl from the board as an optional step and then I take mandatory step and take 3 tokens in a row which include another pink pearl which means that now I have two pearls from optional and mandatory steps does my opponent get a privilege?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

The Optional and Mandatory steps are treated separately. If you gained 2 pearls from the Mandatory step itself, then they'd gain a privledge, but in the case you describe, they wouldn't.

@rutgerbouwman6538 Год назад

Great video, Rodney! I have one question that’s been discussed on many forums already: do bonuses act as a discounts before or after purchasing new cards with tokens? In other words: do you spend your tokens first, and then count your bonuses towards the remaining gem cost of the card you want to purchase? Or do you discount the gem cost of the card you want to purchase with your bonuses, and then spend any remaining amount of gems with your tokens? In this video you use the latter example, but I’ve heard some people say that in some tournaments it’s the other way around. I can also imagine a game where someone can hoard all the blue tokens for example, by saving up enough blue bonuses to never have to spend their tokens. Resulting in a major disadvantage for the other player. What’s your take on this?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Hey Rutger, the way I present it in the video is the official ruling - hope that helps!

At 14:20 What color is the card giving 6 prestige points? What happens when you put the wild card on it right after?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

You'll notice that has no gem in the to right hand corner. It doesn't belong to one of the color groups - it's just worth the 6 points printed on it, and a wild cannot be placed on it (since the wild would have no gem color to copy).

@suzannedingley5213 11 дней назад

when it's your turn and there are only 3 chips left, say two whites and one red, are you able to take all three? If there are three white left may you take all three? Is there a limit as to how many noble cards one can have? Great game.

@WatchItPlayed 11 дней назад

Hi Suzanne, as long as you're following the rules for taking chips (for example, if they are all in an unbroken row), than yes, you could take all three. For Nobles, you gain one, once you have 3 crowns, and a second if you gain 6 crowns. There isn't a way to gain another royal, so in that way, there's a limit to how may you can have... but it's more that there's a limit on the number of ways to get them, if you know what I mean. Hope that helps!

@michieltummers1303 Год назад

Two questions: 1) can you reserve the top card of a deck of cards instead of taking one from the Display? 2) do you need to do the optional rules in order or can I first replenish then take a chip?

@TemujinReads Год назад

1. Yes, you can reserve the top card from any deck (rulebook pg 6). 2. Optional actions must be taken in the order listed. First, you may return any number of Privileges and take that number of tokens. Then, you may replenish the game board. You can't do them in the reverse order (pg 4).

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Are you referring to the grey cards? Those are just standalone when they only show points on them. The second one I bring on screen at that point you're referring to was just put them on top of each other as a way of organizing them in that shot, but actually, that second one I brought into the shot had the multi-gem symbol, so really (in a proper game situation), should have gone on top of one of the other stacks, as previously explained for those types of cards.

@mandulele Год назад

Do the standard gray cards without the multi color bonus just count towards your total 20 points?

Depends on what symbols they have. Some provide points, some attach to other colors to become that color (and provide that color bonus).

Question regarding 10 max tokens at end of turn. If you pick up a few tokens on a turn, say a red and green for a total of 12 tokens, then at the end of your turn you need to return 2 tokens. Does this mean that you can return any color? In essence, this is like trading token colors. Is this right/allowed? This one thing has tripped me up in this and in the original version.

This seems like a must have. Splendor is easy to teach, fast to play and still intresting after a while. The two player version seems deeper even better (maybye harder to learn but still).

How many coins to put out to start the game for only tqo players? It's very confusing.

@WatchItPlayed Месяц назад

I'm a bit confused by the question, as you can only play this game with 2 players. Can you give me a time tamp to the section of the video you are finding unclear, and then detail your question so I can give you more direct help?

Any reason why pearl was introduced?

@WatchItPlayed 3 месяца назад

Good question, but that's probably more of a question for the designers.

@robertbentley3734 Год назад

Why do you need to follow the arrows when pulling random jewels out of the bag during set up? Why isnt it just 'fill all the spaces with jewels'?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Hey Robert, that's more of a question for the designers, but I don't think it's necessary (I just taught it that way, because that's what the rules say to do) - as long as you are doing it completely randomly, it should be fine.

@christopherbobridge707 Год назад

Can you run out of gems in the bag when doing a refill?

@christopherbobridge707 Год назад

In which case it would be important for refills but not for set up.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

@@christopherbobridge707 Yep! Because players might have gems in front of themselves that aren’t in the discard.

@@christopherbobridge707 Yeah, it’s not really necessary for setup, as long as the placement is random.

Can gold coins be used as perls?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.

@jujurinka6719 Год назад

Found it. I watched your video, purchased the game... Then read the rules at one. But in the German translation of the rules it is only stated, that gold chips could be used as a chip of any color. So to me it wasn't clear if this includes pearls or not. Me and my gf actually played it as the following. If one were to use a gold chip as a pearl the other one were to receive a privalage...

@nedeljkodukic7279 Год назад

I don't have the rulebook in front of me, but I was sure that the first optional action allows you to spend A privilege, and not as much as you have.. i may be wrong. Edit: actually on 5:00 minute mark of this video, the rule book states spend 1 privilege.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

I had to do some work to figure out what you were getting at here (I made some guesses, because this comment doesn't detail why you are asking this question, so if I've gotten it wrong, please let me know). I think what you're getting at, is that at 2:39, I discuss an optional action that lets you spend 1 privledge to take 1 non-gold token. But then later in the video 2:55, I say that you can return more than 1 privledge token to resolve that action multiple times. The problem is that the back of the rule book page that I show at 2:39 is a summary of the rules, not the full rules. It's just a player aid - it doesn't give all the details. If you go to the full rules, you'll find it says: "Return 1 or more Privileges to their place above the board. For each Privilege returned, take 1 Gem or Pearl token of your choice from the board.". The video is detailing the full rules of the game, so it will contain more details than you'll find on the Player Aid. The player aid is just meant to be a visual reminder of the full rules. It probably would have been helpful is they had included some additional wording on the Player Aid to prevent that confusion. However, if you are trying to figure out why I'm teaching something a particular way, you'll want to refer to the full rules, not just the player aid. I hope that helps clear it up. Have fun playing!

@nedeljkodukic7279 Год назад

What if on your turn, you are limited already with 10 gems, you don't have a scroll, and you cannot purchase a card? The rulebook does not specify. Me and my wife played this way: we take extra gems (goes over 10 limit) then discard the ones we don't need in order to prepare for a purchase in the next turn.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

You'll find this covered here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h8dhfJGspJI.html (you can have more than 10 gems "during" your turn, so if you start with 10 gems, you can still collect more - it's only at the end of your turn that you have to discard down).

@nedeljkodukic7279 Год назад

@@WatchItPlayed I am aware. But if you have 10 gems at the beginning of the round, optional actions are unavailable, and I have to choose only 1 mandatory action. I don't have enough to purchase a card. I can't pick up gems because I'll go over 10 and then I can't spend them because I cannot pick up gems and spend them on a card during that same turn. The only way you can go over 10 and spend them is if you have a scroll that you can use for an extra gem in order to purchase a card after that. Sorry if I'm not coming through clear.

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

@@nedeljkodukic7279 We might be misunderstanding each other a bit. If you start your turn and can't buy a card, but have 10 gems, it probably means you need a different combination of gems. You are saying "I can't pick up gems because I'll go over 10", but as I explained above, you "can" pick up gems and go over 10, but at the end of your turn, you'll have to discard back down to ten. So on a turn like this, you would pick up the gems you do need for a purchase, and then, at the end of your turn you'll have to discard back down to ten gems (and you'll choose to get rid of gems you don't need). Then on your next turn you'll then hopefully have the gems you need to make the purchase you want to make. If you don't, then you'll need to pick up more gems (and discard after again). If the board doesn't have any of the gems you need, then as your optional action, you should choose to refill the board, so you can have better options. I'm basically repeating what you said in your first post that you and your wife decided to do, but that's also what the rules allow you to do ;) I just wanted to help make that clear (since it seemed like you thought it wasn't allowed).

@nedeljkodukic7279 Год назад
