Glasgow :  Board Game : Ages 10+ : 2 Players : 30 Minutes Playing Time

In Glasgow, players travel the city (in an abstract manner) to collect resources, take special actions, and most important of all construct buildings. Build a factory, and you'll receive more goods from it when other buildings are constructed in the right areas in relation to it; build a train station, and you may or may not score from it depending on what else you build; build a monument, and you'll merely collect a lot of points — and in the end, points are what matters.

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. Whoever is farther behind in the circle around town takes the next turn, advancing to whichever town figure they want to visit. Most of them give you resources — brick, steel, or money — and you have a limit on how many resources of each type you can hold. Some figures have two random building plans at them, and if you visit one with the right resources, you can pay them, then build something. If you pay extra, you can then build something else, too!

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. As soon as the sixteenth building is erected, the game ends and players score points for what they built. Who has contributed more to the current state of Glasgow?

• In the competitive family game for 2 players, you slip into the roles of competing merchants. Your task is to award orders in the port and acquire real estate
• Since the 18th century, Glasgow has undergone major restructuring. You, as regional merchants, are on the way to Glasgow to create one of the first planned cities in Europe
• Use the actions on the order tiles to obtain the necessary resources and use the construction actions on the architect plates to build your city centre
• Once 20 buildings have been built, the game ends. Thanks to the variable game structure and an initially undefined building display, Glasgow has a high replay value
