Get ready for a relaxing yet strategic tile-laying game with The Glade! Perfect for 1 to 4 players ages 13 and up, this game is all about building your own little forest. You'll draw wooden tiles featuring creatures, leaves, and forest fruits, and place them on your personal player board to create connected sets. Your goal is to create sets of three or four matching tiles. When you make a set of three, you place a toadstool counter on the central glade board. Complete a set of four to claim those toadstools for yourself! You can then use your toadstools to create special enclosures on your board for extra actions and points. The game ends when someone places all their toadstools or the tile bag runs empty. There's even a more advanced 'matching game' variant included for when you've mastered the basics. With beautiful wooden components and rules that work smoothly for both solo and group play, The Glade is a charming, thinky game you'll want to play over and over.
