Ready to make your mark on the world? In Tales of Glory, you step into the boots of a fledgling adventurer eager to prove your worth and become a legend. Each year of your life is a turn, and you decide what your character gets up to: face a dragon, snag some treasure, make important connections... whatever it takes to rack up the most glory! The game unfolds over ten years (turns), and the player with the most glory points at the end is crowned the champion. Each year, everyone secretly chooses a quest from a common pool, pays its cost, and adds it to their 'path of life,' connecting it to previous adventures or their starting point. Some quests grant immediate glory, like defeating a nasty monster, while others depend on what you've already done or will do later in your journey. It's a game of planning and mind-reading your opponents, as you need to consider not only your own path but also how their choices might affect you or how you can disrupt their plans. Featuring hand management, simultaneous action selection, and tile placement (or card placement, in this case) mechanics, Tales of Glory offers a neat tactical experience without being overly complex. The open drafting of quests ensures each game is different, with new opportunities and challenges arising each round. It's perfect for those who enjoy fantasy and medieval-themed games that blend strategy with a touch of luck and plenty of fun. Get ready to build your own saga and achieve eternal glory! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Tales of Glory?
