NOTE: If you get a tie and are looking for additional tie-breakers beyond what you find in the rulebook, you can use these measures to break the tie, which were proposed on an internet forums, that supposedly came from the people behind the game:
- The player with the less number of development cards (already there, and official)
- The player owning the most nobles tiles
- The player owning the most gems (chips)
- If you're still tied (highly unlikely !) : the last player in the order of play.

This is my all time favorite game, but I'm probably bias to it since it was my first real board, like ya know, a real strategy sit down and play board game, not a simply or chance game like Sorry or Trouble. Thanks for making this video, I think it's perfect for beginners!
Great video, good explanation,easy to follow,
This guy is one of the best game explainers I have seen on youtube
Glen, that's very kind of you to say - glad you enjoyed the video!
I agree! We read the instructions and almost gave up before even playing. Watched this video and in a few minutes we were experts. This video explanation is so good that the game designers who created the instructions should be fired and never to make instructions again for the rest of their life.
Indeed.
Splendor's rulebook is so terribly written. It reads like a 3rd grader trying to explain the game.
Glen Pekin he’s our favorite. Everything is clear and to the point, I wish he had every game on here! 😆
What a legend still pining comments 5 years later
I watched about 5 videos on Splendor today, and yours was by far the best. Thank you!
Very kind of you to say Michael!
Got the mobile version of Splendor. Had no clue what I was doing even after the tutorial. Lost horribly. Watched this. Won the very next game. Great job!
Hey - great to hear this was a help Jeremy!
Heart warming
Is the mobile version as fun or worth it considering it’s a paid app? :)
Splendor is so fun, we often play it as 3 games in one. We'll play first to 15, then continue playing to first to 20(or 25), then continue until all cards have been purchased. People often feel they are just hitting their stride when we get to 15 points.
This seems to help particularly with our younger players as they have 3 chances to "win" in their mind. There may be some after game trash talk of "Well, I won the game the *real* way", but that's fizzled out a lot faster each time than the "Ah, man! I was just starting to really have fun, and you had to go and ruin it!" feelings we had when stopping when we got to 15 points.
M. Z, 😊😊
Question. 2 players and I have 10 gems. There is no developmental card that I can buy. Maybe I don't have diamants and all of cards at the bottom needs a whit diamanta. What then
Do you skip. But what if you skip for 3 rounds.?
@@erikahvanniekerk1223 You can only have 10 gems at the END OF YOUR TURN. So you pick up some new gems (probably Diamonds in your example ), then put back some of the chips you already had.
After watching this and the Five Tribes tutorial I can honestly say you are the first person I will google the next time I need a game explained. Thanks for the great uploads!
Thanks for the kind feedback - I hope you find some more games on here that you'll enjoy!
Thanks for the video, Rodney. I taught this game myself but as always your narrative explains it clearer.
Falko Jäger Very kind of you to say!
I just got Splendor, and this is definitely one of the best descriptions for the game.
Thank you so much!
Thank you kindly for the comment!
Is splendor fun? Is it hard or easy to play?
This feller is easily the best in explaining games - always clear and easy to follow.
Thank you kindly Trevor.
Your videos are excellent! I just watched this tutorial and Above & Below...along with the corresponding Gameplay series...which is also great! Awesome job all around!!! You really have a knack for simplifying and explaining. I watch a lot of game reviews/tutorials/walk-throughs and usually you get the gist, but with your's I fully understand how to play and can't wait to do so. Thank you!
Thank you for the very kind comments Wade - I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
Playing this for the first time at a friend's house later today. I love to be prepared so of course looked up to see if you'd made a tutorial for it, and lo and behold you had! Thanks Rodney!
You bet - I hope you have a great time playing!
@@WatchItPlayed It was so much fun! We played it four times and I got smashed every time but at least I knew how to play 😉😂
Great video! This explanation is detailed and extensive without being overwhelming. Thanks!
Very glad to hear you found it helpful!
Love this game! Anything simple, but full of strategy, is up my alley.
Whenever my gaming group gets a new game, you are the first channel we go to to look up how to play! Love your videos, they are extremely useful and well made ^_^.
Ryan Bell Thank you Ryan, very glad to hear your group has been enjoying the content!
What are the strategies?? I keep losing all games at game nights.please do share!! 😀😇😍🥰
We were really having trouble understanding the instructions. Your video made it so simple thanks a lot :)
You're very welcome John - glad it was helpful!
Rod, thank you for the professional and well-informed explanation of Splendor. I easily caught on and I appreciate your team's work. I have shared this with my little Goddaughter and look forward to playing it with her online while we are all hunkering down amid Covid-19. My gratitude, Rod. 🤗🧼😷🏥💞
-Norm (Troy, MI)
I hope you both have a fun time playing!
I have played a competition in Montreal and let me tell you that even if it seems an easy game, this game has a lot of strategy involved. I play it with my 8 year old daugther and she's getting better and better. So YES this game can be a great learning tool for kids.
Daniel I am about to play with my 8yo son!
Sparklingly clear explanation as always. Thanks, Rodney!
Thank YOU Doug :)
Because he reads from the rulebook lol he's smooth
Congratulations!
Another great video and one tutorial of good quality.
Thank you for your dedication.
Elvis Lucas For kind viewers like yourself? The pleasure is all mine.
Bought this game this week! Stoked to try it out. Thanks for the video, Rodney!
Andy Akins My pleasure - I hope you have a great time playing!
Thank you. The best explanation. So clear!
This was one of the first games that got my wife back into tabletop gaming and me into it. Friends had us over and played it with us. We were surprised how easy it was to follow. Someone had given us the game years ago and we'd never actually played it! XD We were so intimidated by the rules at the time--if only we'd known about your channel!!!! We really enjoy both now!!!
I should break this one out again soon - it's great!
Great explanation. Crystal clear. This seems like a great gateway game for a quick play!
Thanks for checking it out!
your channel is amazing. We are gamers from Brazil and Everytime we will start to play a new game your channel is the first one we search for a tutorial. keep doing your excellent work! thanks you
So glad you like the videos Arthur!
Love Rodney’s explanations. Just picked the digital version up in the sale! Great job Rodney
Thank you Darren - I hope you have a fun time with it!
Played this game for the first time tonight with my two daughters. Your video was awesome! So helpful!
Hope you all had fun!
That was an awesome explanation, really clear, and my boys and I are now ready to dive into the game!
So nice to hear David - hope you all have a great time!
Thanks again Rodney, late to the game with Splendor having only just picked it up today, as always your video has explained how to play perfectly!
SO nice to hear Colin - I hope you have a great time playing!
We're getting ready to play this for the first time - thank you for the wonderful explanation!
You're very welcome - I hope you have a great time playing!
I've watched a few of these to learn how to play Splendor and this is THE BEST!
Very kind of you to say Jim - glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for this video! The rules are so easy to understand with the way you explain it! My friend has the boardgame, so I'm preparing myself for game night.
Hope you have a great time playing!
Awesome vid, glad to know I've been playing the game correctly(even though its pretty hard to mess up in Splendor). Been getting into more table top games as of late. I stumbled upon this channel after searching for a tutorial on Small World. Easy to follow, clear instuections, Insta-subscribed shortly after :)

thx Rodney! you're a successful teacher!
aba1400 Thank you for the kind words!
Splendor is an awesome game. After getting introduced to it it didn't take me long to pick up a copy. I've brought it a number of times to our weekly game lunches, and we're able to get new people up to speed pretty dang quick, and are able to finish a game in less than 60 minutes.
Glad you enjoyed this one :)
@@WatchItPlayed Going through the backlog of comments, eh? Thanks for the heart! :)
Splendor doesn't make it to the table as much as it used to, but it'll forever be the 'gem game' that helped me get a number of new players into newer board games.
@@JamesSkemp Agreed!
Man.... probably it is me but every Tutorial you do I understand everyting since the firt time. Really you are my favourite Tutorial Game Master :-)
So glad they've been helpful!
Beautifully explained. Thank you.
Mike N My pleasure - glad you enjoyed it!
I love your smile, man. Nice explanation.
Thank you kindly!
Great video! Very well explained
Thanks BW!
thanks Rodney, I’m going for the app on this right now, looking forward to it !
Have a great time!
Very clear explanation! Thank you!
You're very welcome - have fun playing!
This is VERY well done. You just earned another subscriber!
Very nice to have you here - thanks!
We seriously can't get enough of this game; it's so fun! Easy yet challenging with the different ways of strategizing. I'm curious, @@WatchItPlayed, would you be able to suggest other board games similar to Splendor?
OMG! Subscribed even before liking the video! Freaking awesome explaination! This is now my go channel to learn games.
Thanks so much Marlon, really appreciate the kind comment and glad you're enjoying! Lots of games here for you to explore :)
@@WatchItPlayed I'm actually hooked on splendor! Testing different strategies and trying to improve on each gameplay. Awesome game.
Splendor is an awesome game and this video was so helpful
Thanks Gia!
YOU ARE SO GOOD AT EXPLAINING THIS👍🏼
Thanks - glad you liked it :)
nice video. I've played this before but it's been awhile. nice quick refresher.
+Buck Hope you have fun playing!
I did. its a fun game and I think its fairly easy for a more strategy type game. I introduced it to my friends and they really enjoyed it.
Great video as always!
Thanks Zottle!
I just got this game. Looking forward to figuring it out!
Have a great time playing!
Thanks for this video it was helpful and easy to follow!
You're very welcome Daniel!
best explainer on youtube. makes me wanna buy all the board games revieweddd
So glad you've been enjoying the videos Juanro :)
Excellent video, will have a play tomorrow
Kamran Khan Hope you have a fun time!
I'm totally new and just trying to wrap my head around this but your clear and deliberate explanations helped a lot for a somewhat confusing game. I was surprised that if there were a tie at the end of the game that the player with the FEWEST developments wins -- that seems counterintuitive only because it seems that acquiring developments and ultimately prestige is the whole point of the game so in a tie it would make sense for the player with the most developments to win at least as far as I can seem to understand the logic of the game. Please help me to understand that rule. Thanks so much!
That's more of a question for the designer, so I should probably avoid trying to say what their motivation for that rule was, but my guess is that the player who got the most points, but required less developments to do it, gained their points more "efficiently", and therefore played better, could be a reason?
That said, glad to know the video was helpful in presenting the rules. Have fun playing and welcome tot he hobby!
Thanks again, Watch It Played!
You're very welcome!
Very well explained ..not too fast. Thank you
You're very welcome Mark - glad you found it helpful!
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
You're very welcome Elena, glad you liked it!
Great video as always.
Thank you kindly Victor!
Clear' and concise....exactly What I wanted, thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
I thought this game looked too simple and even a bit boring upon seeing some videos. Then I played it and within three games I'm loving it. Almost want to add it to my own collection even though my friend and regular gaming buddy already has it.
Simple, strategic, and even suspenseful when everyone's closing in on 15!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for checking out the video :)
Why on earth would anyone thumbs down this? Another great tutorial, thanks for the video.
Thank you kindly Kent!
@@WatchItPlayed I hope to see more, my daughter loves watching your videos before we try a new game. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks again.
very clear explanation, thanks!
You're very welcome!
