Die Glasstraße: Harlekin

About this expansion

Die Glasstraße: Harlekin is a specialist card for the one-player solo game variant of Glass Road. Originally released as a promotional item in Spielbox 2015/7, it is included in the Glass Road base game from the 2021 editions onward.

Harlekin changes how the solo card selection unfolds during a building period. Instead of shuffling Harlekin together with the other cards, place it at the bottom of the shuffled stack. This ensures that Harlekin is always among the final two cards from which you can choose one card to play for both actions.

The card offers two distinct abilities. Its first ability clears all remaining buildings in a row on the central board, providing a focused way to remove what is left in that row. Its second ability grants 3 of a certain resource, with the resource determined by rolling a die.

• Designed for the one-player solo variant
• Placed at the bottom of the shuffled stack
• Always appears among the last two available choices
• Clears all remaining buildings in one central-board row
• Provides 3 of a die-determined resource

Because Harlekin remains near the end of the stack, choosing it becomes a notable late decision in each building period. You must decide whether its board-clearing effect or its randomized resource gain is the more useful of the two available options.

For solo players looking to add this specialist card to their experience, Die Glasstraße: Harlekin offers a compact rules change with two clearly defined abilities. Its inclusion in 2021 and later editions of the Glass Road base game makes it part of those editions rather than an additional promotional item.
