About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Glory: A Game of Knights*, you’re a knight seeking fame and glory in 15th-century Europe. Train, joust in tournaments, earn noble titles, and even serenade your beloved to climb the social ladder. The game blends worker placement, strategic dice rolling, and a modular board for unique gameplay every time. Every action costs time, so plan carefully: will you train to hone your skills or roam the land gathering allies? And when the tournament comes, will your dice betray you? Designed by medieval reenactors, the game captures the essence of knightly life with mechanics ranging from quick PvP duels to secret objectives that change each game. Get ready for an epic journey—or at least a good story for the minstrels to sing about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
How long does a game take?
45-120 minutes, depending on player count and whether you include PvP duels.
Does it work well solo?
Yes! Includes a challenging solo mode where you compete against AI-controlled nobles.
Is it luck-based or strategic?
Dice matter, but smart choices (and strategic re-rolls) balance the luck.
What’s the minimum recommended age?
12+, due to some complex rules and authentic medieval theme (no blood, but duels are present).
Is it good for casual gamers?
If you love theme and don’t mind a 2.8/5 complexity, give it a shot. Not a 'party game,' but not a rule-heavy beast either.
Do you need expansions to enjoy it?
Nope! The base game is complete, but Kickstarter promos add extras for superfans.
