Glory: A Game of Knights

Players take on the role of a young knight in 15th-century Europe, managing time and resources to build fame through tournaments, titles and songs sung by minstrels. Each turn players perform actions such as training, recruiting allies, praying, selling equipment or courting patrons in a worker-placement–style preparation phase, then resolve quests and tournaments drawn from gathered cards. Tournaments and duels award most victory points, while noble titles (public and private) provide secondary goals that change each game. The game offers two main modes: one with player-versus-player combat and one against nonplayer nobles, shifting the level of direct conflict.
