Players work to collect a group of cards or tiles that share a similar theme or image in order to achieve their goals. When playing Splendor players are working to collect sets of colored chips that will allow them to purchase cards from the center. These cards are worth points in order to win the game. Each card requires a different set of chips in order to be able to buy it. Likewise, there are a few tiles where players are able to obtain them if they have obtained a certain set of cards.
