The Great Split

In The Great Split you collect treasures to build the finest collection on the table. Think sparkling gems, shiny gold, special art and old books. Every round starts with a tricky choice: you divide your cards into two piles and pass them to your neighbour. But they decide which pile you get back. You split, the other player chooses! While your neighbour studies your split, you also get an offer from the player on your right. So you are constantly shifting and weighing things up. You try to build your piles so the other player takes exactly what you want to get rid of, leaving you with the tastiest loot. At the end of your turn you play your cards and your collection grows. Each type of treasure scores points in its own way, so a bit of balance helps. Keep an eye on the art market, because values change during the game. And manage your gold carefully, because there is already a scoring halfway through. A game full of haggling, thinking ahead and small bits of teasing, where every round you have to guess what the other player will do.
