Glow

2021·Cédrick Chaboussit

2 - 4 players
45 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

In Glow, you are an adventurer who builds their company by recruiting a new traveling companion each turn, trying to combine their powers as best as possible. You'll roll the dice to activate the advantages that your companions bring you...or their disadvantages. Gather many slivers of light to dispel the darkness, restore the colors, travel the land to reach landmarks, and (yes) score points. In short, Glow is a card-drafting, dice-rolling, and combinations game. The box contains lots of colorful dice, two game boards for two different gaming experiences. You have to count on luck sometimes, but be attentive to your card combinations, too.
