About this board game

Tales of Glory is a game for 2–5 players that takes about 45 minutes, in which emerging heroes build a path of adventure across ten years and compete to earn the most glory.

Each turn represents a year in a hero’s life. Players simultaneously choose a quest from a common pool, deciding whether to defeat a monster, loot treasure, meet people, or pursue another opportunity on the road to becoming a legend.

After choosing a quest, you must pay its cost and add it to your path of life. Each new quest connects to one already completed or to your departure area, gradually creating a personal journey. The shape and content of that journey matter, as some quests provide immediate glory while others are influenced by what came before or what will follow.

  • Simultaneous selection: Choose your quest from the shared pool alongside your opponents.
  • Path building: Connect each quest to form your hero’s evolving life story.
  • Variable rewards: Gain immediate glory or benefit from combinations across your path.
  • Tactical timing: Judge when a card best suits your own path—or could matter to another player.

Across the game, heroes can fight creatures, gain power, obtain treasures, and recruit allies as they seek prestige. The random card-selection system creates tactical depth, making every choice a question of both opportunity and timing.

In Tales of Glory, every year adds another chapter to your adventure. Build the most rewarding path, collect the greatest glory, and return home as the hero who has earned legendary status.
