http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/03/glen-more-of-tracts-sheep-and-strong.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Friday, March 18, 2011. Glen More: A Wee Bit O' Scotland. Glen More, designer Mattias Cramer's first game, is set in the Scottish highlands. In this game, two to five players compete to create the best laid-out countryside using tiles selected from a circular track. The game is played over three scoring rounds and generally takes about 60-90 minutes to play in my experience. March 28, 2011 at 3:38 PM. I definitely need to give this a try if I get a chance! Why Start a B...

Each player takes on the role of a group of dwarves and elves working to build a medieval city (don't leave, stay with me! With the help of some gnomes-for-hi...
