Splendor DuelHow to Play2 players
Splendor Duel does not use only one prestige target. Three different routes can end the game immediately.
Total prestige route
A player wins by reaching the printed total-prestige threshold across their purchased cards.
Crown route
A player can also win by collecting the required number of crown symbols.
Single-color prestige route
A third victory condition checks prestige accumulated within one card color.
Immediate timing
When a player satisfies a victory condition, the game ends immediately rather than waiting for an equal number of turns.
Multiple threats
Cards can advance more than one route at once, so prestige, crowns and color concentration should all be tracked continuously.
