Asmodee Digital is still accepting sign-ups for their first Official Digital Splendor Tournament which kicks off this Saturday, September 11th.
The tournament will take place over several rounds. Since the app doesn’t currently support online play, each round of the tournament will consist of players trying to out-score their opponent in the assigned Challenge in the digital releases’ exclusive game mode.
All skill levels welcome and there will be prizes for the top three players including the physical board game, promos, play mats and Steam codes.
To participant you simply need to have access to the digital version of Splendor [iOS] [Android] and reply to this Facebook post saying that you would like to participate by September 11th.
If you haven’t played Splendor yet, you can read my full review of the iOS release.
I’ve signed up myself, so maybe I’ll be competing against some of our readers.
