In Splendor, players take on the role of a wealthy merchant looking to invest money in the jewel industry by investing in mines, transportation methods and recruiting the best artisans that can transform those gems into jewels. In Century: Spice Road, players adopt the role of caravan leaders who travel from town to city along the spice road, trading and exchanging spices to gain renown and reputation. Both games seek to evoke a similar feeling of gathering resources, paying for cards and racing to gain prestige points. However, Splendor is more about economic efficiency as purchasing developments provides players with future discounts whereas the focus in Century: Spice Road is on deckbuilding and engine building. Building an effective system that allows players to trade for the right combination of spices is this games highlight.
