You decide when to establish pastures, grow grain for whisky, and trade goods on markets. The unique time rondel mechanism determines your next turn and actions. Tile placement shapes your tableau and resource management. This creates a strategic interplay of timing and economic decisions.
Who Is This Game For?
Glen More is aimed at experienced players aged 13 and up, with a medium complexity level and about a 60-minute playtime. It requires some strategic understanding and patience with the time mechanism, not suited for casual or family gamers.
