Glory is a game designed by two medieval reenactors, who want to tell you a story of a knight’s life in the language of a board game. The key design concepts are:
two main modes for different experience and player types – with or without pvp combat
worker-placement-like preparation phase,
quest phase based on gathered quest cards,
tournaments as a main source of victory points,
duels as a fast mini-game
titles to gather as a secondary source of victory points – public and private – changing with every game.
