In Glen More II: Chronicles, you lead a Scottish clan from the early medieval period to the 19th century. You expand your territory with larger tiles, produce resources like barley for whisky, and control landmarks such as castles and lochs. The time track sets turn order, where taking a tile triggers multiple actions. After four rounds, you score points for whisky casks, landmarks, gold coins, and more, with penalties for territory size.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is aimed at experienced gamers aged 12 and up who enjoy medium to heavy Eurogames. With a playtime around 120 minutes, it demands patience and some prior strategy game experience. Families with younger children may find it too complex.
How It Works
Players take turns taking tiles from a time track, advancing their position on it. The chosen tile is placed in their territory grid, activating itself and adjacent tiles to produce resources and victory points. Mechanics like Commodity Speculation, Market, Set Collection, and Grid Movement influence how you trade and manage resources to develop your clan's economy.
