About this board game

Glass Road is a captivating board game that takes you back in time to the Bavarian forest’s historical Glass Road during the 18th century. It’s a period of enormous advancement in glass production and technology, and players get to experience this first hand.

The game is set in the heart of the lush, green Bavarian forest, where players take on the roles of medieval glassmakers. It’s your job to produce the finest glass and brick products, managing resources, and developing your own building and production chains to achieve this.

The core mechanics of Glass Road are resource management, tile placement, and simultaneous action selection. The aim is to carefully manage your resources, build structures, and utilize specialist roles to your advantage in order to produce and sell the highest quality glass products.
