What modules are included in Cities of Splendor?

Cities of Splendor is a set of four expansion modules for the base Splendor game. Add one module to keep the table focused, then try another module in a later game.

Cities

Cities swaps out nobles for three city objectives drawn from a larger set. A city can ask for prestige, permanent bonuses, or both, and players race to complete one of those objectives to win.

Trading Posts

Trading Posts gives players lasting bonuses for building specific development-card patterns. Those bonuses can improve token taking, add prestige, or make later turns more efficient.

Orient Cards

Orient Cards adds extra face-up cards beside each development level. These cards bring special effects, such as flexible colors or stronger bonuses, so buying decisions feel less predictable.

Strongholds

Strongholds gives each player towers that can claim or contest face-up cards. Stack your towers on the same card to set up an extra purchase and create sharper timing around the shared market.

What is Cities of Splendor?

Cities of Splendor is a Splendor expansion system for the base game. It is useful when your table wants to add one module first, then try the other modules over time.

Common module mixes

  • Base Splendor + Cities
  • Base Splendor + Trading Posts
  • Base Splendor + Orient Cards
  • Base Splendor + Strongholds

Add a module before play

Pick the module before players join so scoring, card effects, and table pressure are clear.

The Silk Road and The Sun Never Sets are newer expansions from this wider module family, with their own rules.
