The Glasgow Game

Product Information

The collection has certainly expanded over the last few years and we've been making up for lost time! The Glasgow Game is a learning game which encourages an understanding of health and wellbeing in Glasgow, promotes thinking about the complexities and context of the city and helps people consider possible futures for Glasgow. Every action is a meaningful choice as you decide whether to go ahead for that tile you really want, or hope your opponent won't go for it and take smaller steps. In such cases it can be worth skipping over two or three resource or building activation tiles, which will give your opponent a lot of control over what happens during the next few turns. Sadly for Glasgow, it shares the same Klemens Franz artwork as Foothills, which my wife found particularly dull.

The artist is Klemes Franz, who has been involved in some big hitters such as Agricola, Le Harve, Orléans and Oh My Goods! You can navigate the action ring as fast as you like, but the faster you go the more actions you give away to your opponent. Special thanks to the staff member who was working in the arcade area, made my daughter feel right at home and couldn’t be more welcoming. We run online FNMs for Magic the Gathering Players and host Role Play Games for our community members. Glasgow: that fair Scottish city of never ending rain, cold, and depression…but hey, they’ve got a subway that was built in the 1890s, and you can be a part of the city planning that put it there in this 2-player ring-around-the-rosey tile-laying game of city planning without planning too far ahead.Offering the latest gaming releases and a range of classic must-haves for Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. A variable setup and, at least in the beginning of the game, an undefined placement grid promise a lot of replay value. It looks good on the table and considering it is based in industrial Glasgow, it isn’t completely grey. Hardcore gamers might turn up their nose at this game, because the mechanism is just move your pawn around the circle, take the stuff, move it again, take the stuff, until you’re in front, then wait. My wife, on the other hand, really liked that there were nice, easy choices that often felt meaningful and rewarding, but which rarely came with real peril.

In Glasgow you and one other player are city planners tasked with building up Glasgow as they put in subway stations around the city to try and make Glasgow a thriving metropolis for ages to come.The first building is placed anywhere in the midst of play, then each subsequent building is placed adjacent to something already built, with the buildings eventually filling in a 4x4 grid of the players' own creation. In slightly more detail, to set up the game, lay out a ring of town figures at random, with two of them being removed from play each game. All the building, contracting, and architect tiles are made of sturdy cardboard punch outs, and the merchant meeples are good quality wooden meeples.

Discount: The discount is for the total bill when a main meal is purchased per person (please note due to loss of earnings during Covid-19 some pubs are temporarily suspending discounts - please get in contact with us if you wish to check).The other reason is if a player sees a building that is worth a lot of points to them that they cannot risk their opponent getting. The game will end when the 20th building has been built at which point players add up their score to determine the winner.

I think the fact that there is no way to completely prevent your opponent from getting points helped. The game in the box was developed in recognition that in many circumstances it is easier to play the game offline i. In Glasgow, players travel the city (in an abstract manner) to collect resources, take special actions, and most important of all construct buildings. Each building is worth points, and in the classic format used by similar games, the more points a building is worth, the less useful its abilities will be during the game. And as a cherry on top, the buildings are drafted from a face-down pile, with only 8 visible at a time.Route Info: This winding route across the city heads past the city’s most famous landmarks and explores its interesting districts! After some last whispered comments from his attaché, the mayor finally turns to the crowd and starts talking: "Dear fellow citizens!
