Gone Cardboard: Glen More, Coming from alea

In most years, German publisher alea rolls out one title in spring and another in fall. For 2010, the spring release is Glen More by first-time designer Matthias Cramer. Players are members of Scottish clans who want to increase their territorial holdings, whether to enlarge pastures for their sheep and cattle (to be sold later at market), to cultivate corn (and perhaps later transform that into whiskey), or to develop ideal locations along lakes or near castles. Success comes down to making the right decision at the right time.

Glen More is for 2-5 players, ages 10 and up, with a playing time of 45-70 minutes, a retail price of €22, and a rating of 4 on alea’s complexity index. The game is #6 in alea’s middle-sized series of games. An English version of the game will be released, but alea’s Stefan Brück says that the details are still in the works given that the 2010 Nuremberg trade show doesn’t take place until Feb. 4-9.
