About the game
In Glen More you take on the role of a 17th‑century Scottish clan leader, striving to expand territory and wealth. The game blends city building, farm economics and commodity speculation in a richly detailed setting. Each turn begins by selecting a square on the rondel, which determines the action you can take—whether planting grain, raising livestock, building castles, or selling goods—while also telling you how many turns you’ll have in the future. This rondel mechanic makes every decision directly affect the game’s pace, forcing you to plan not just what to do now, but when you’ll return to the board. Tile collection and track movement add strategic layers: you must build a tableau of tiles that maximizes available resources while controlling the flow of time. The Scottish theme, with shepherds, castles and lochs, gives the game extra charm and keeps the atmosphere cohesive. The game accommodates 2–5 players, lasts about 60 minutes, and, despite its medium complexity rating, is approachable for those familiar with board‑strategy mechanics. If you enjoy long‑term planning, calculated risk‑taking, and a touch of Scottish history, Glen More will keep you hooked from start to finish.
