Grepolis vs Splendor
Grepolis
Grepolis is an Ancient Greek-themed MMO strategy game by Plarium where you will be establishing your own empire. Build your beautiful Greek city and develop it to bolster your wealth so you can mobilize a mighty army to help you defend your treasury and also to attack your enemies. You can even recruit legendary Greek heroes like Heracles to helm your battalions or to govern your cities. Interestingly, you will even need to choose to worship certain Greek gods or goddesses (you can't worship them all) to earn their favor and gain access to wield their divine powers. After all, every little advantage you can get can go a long way in this game. So, rise up now and show the world your brilliant leadership in Grepolis!Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
