In Glory: A Game of Knights, you are a young knight, whose sole goal is to become famous. You will earn your fame through tournaments, noble titles or minstrels singing about your deeds. Each turn, you spend your precious time doing actions like training, gathering allies, praying or selling your sword. You will also fight for ransom or visit your beloved lady. Prepare yourself for being a champion able to challenge other players as well as the most famous nobles across the Europe of 15th century.

      Glory: A Game of Knights is a game in which you assume the role of a knight fighting for glory in the tournaments of 15th century Europe. Players have two types of tournaments to choose from – it’s up to you whether you fight against each other or only against famous knights like Jacques de Lalaing or Zawisza the Black. 

3 MODES OF PLAY:

• The “Joust à plaisance” is a direct confrontation between players. (PvP)
• The “Pas d’armes” is a battle versus the non player knights within the game. (PvE)
• The solo mode is for a unique one-player game experience. (Solo)
   

        Who among us hasn’t dreamed of becoming a knight? The shining armor, the mighty horses, the tournament rooster, the cheers of the excited crowd…

      Glory is a game in which you will play the role of a medieval knight, fighting for recognition among noble brothers and beautiful ladies. However, the road to glory will be marked by numerous challenges.

     Knightly duels and tournaments, fighting for titles and prizes, collecting relics, and even persuading a minstrel to write a song to praise our lives…. Sounds like an adventure? And that’s not all!

     In addition to the direct confrontation in tournaments, you will also compete with other players for the best equipment and valuable allies. You’ll also need to find time to pray for divine support in your fight for the highest honours!

     Fortunately, you don’t have to work too hard, because in this game you are young, noble and rich. The only question is, will you become famous and will your life be worthy of a knights’ tale?

Key Features:

• A unique take on worker placement where players can build a character and compete with the game and other players.
• Variable player characteristics and unique supporters, quests to fulfill, and titles to acquire provide a big amount of depth and replayability.
• A highly interactive experience in PvP mode and a more calculated experience in PvE.
• Multiple paths to victory by duelling in tournaments and acquiring titles.
• Solo play mode with many goals to achieve.
• Support of polish backers who already unlocked many stretch goals.

• Metal coins as component improvement.
• A beautiful map board with an intuitive layout.
• Illustrations based on historical sources.
• Historical knights as your opponents.
•  Pictures are still being improved!
   

Glory is a game designed by two medieval reenactors, who want to tell you a story of a knight’s life in the language of a board game. The key design concepts are:

two main modes for different experience and player types – with or without pvp combat

worker-placement-like preparation phase,

quest phase based on gathered quest cards,

tournaments as a main source of victory points,

duels as a fast mini-game

titles to gather as a secondary source of victory points – public and private – changing with every game.
