My pick for the month of July is this card game, Splendor.

​

Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development where players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, and shops in order to acquire the most prestige points.

​

It is a such a great strategic game that really makes you think and calls for always being three steps ahead of your opponents, and it's just really fun as well.
