Splendor: The Silk Road Expansion

About this product

Splendor: The Silk Road Expansion adds fresh victory goals and powerful trade bonuses to make every Splendor game feel more dynamic.

Product Description

Take your gem empire beyond the familiar with Splendor: The Silk Road Expansion. This expansion for the base game Splendor adds two modules you can use separately or together: Cities, which replaces nobles with new victory conditions, and Trading Posts, which unlock special powers as your engine grows. It keeps the smooth, elegant feel of Splendor while adding more tactical variety and replay value.

Why you’ll love it

• Adds two different modules to refresh your Splendor sessions without changing the core game too heavily
• Cities creates new end-game goals, so winning is not always the same race to prestige points
• Trading Posts reward smart engine building with ongoing powers that can change how you plan each turn
• Modules can be played individually with the base game, or combined with each other and other Splendor expansions for more variety
• Great for players who already love Splendor and want more strategy, more combinations, and stronger replayability
• Keeps the clean, accessible feel of Splendor while adding more meaningful decisions
