However, for me the game changed as we played it from a city builder that I hugely enjoyed where we both try to create an efficient engine to score points. A very warm atmosphere and every single member of staff went out their way to make us feel comfortable. Taxi drivers have an opinion on every subject, land on one of the ‘Sound-Off’ squares and it’s your turn to sound-off like a cabbie. From the latest theatre events and live music performances to local activities and fantastic attractions, we keep you up to date daily!

The other reason is if a player sees a building that is worth a lot of points to them that they cannot risk their opponent getting. Every action is a meaningful choice as you decide whether to go ahead for that tile you really want, or hope your opponent won't go for it and take smaller steps. Buildings with good abilities have lesser point values come end game scoring, and some buildings score more or less depending on their positioning within the grid.In honesty, so do I, and whilst I was convinced that Glasgow‘s would have gameplay to suit us, getting my wife over the artwork was a challenge. Your mind wanders off while the mayor is talking about more or less interesting details, but you already heard enough.

I knew gettin’ train stations near me parks and tenaments and landmarks was a surefire way to make sure that no one would think twice about hirin’ any other builders.

Glasgow uses what is commonly referred to as a “roundel” system, where each player advances around a ring of spaces, taking whatever action they land on. Note that's not one piece for every resource track, that's one per resource, if you have 5 brick you literally have 5 wooden bricks in a column on your player board.Unfortunately, this does lead to a little bit of a lack of tension, which is something I’ve always felt in bigger roundel-based games. In addition to resource and architect spaces, some spaces will allow the players to activate the buildings placed on the board in any row or column. The game, which involves between 20 – 40 participants, provides a structured way of investigating strategic questions, making use of intelligence from Understanding Glasgow and tapping into the experience and knowledge of participants. The contracts and architect tiles are laid out in a circle, this smacks a little of Patchwork in the way it looks. On being told the ‘Sound-Off subject’, you have 30 seconds to mention as many of the six key words printed on the card.

This is as simple as trading in any resources needed when landing on an architect space, and then placing the building anywhere in the grid with its arrow pointing towards you. This game, however, fills a nice quick 30 minute window with something still reminiscent of the heavier games that we love. You can approach the game from several ways too - building factories early can get you some guaranteed income, but factories themselves are awful for points.The city of Glasgow was planned as a grid, so you’ll have to place it into the grid of the city already constructed without going outside the city limits, which is a 5×4 (or 4×5) grid. After getting into the board game hobby at the end of 2014, we've decided to share our thoughts on the games we're collecting on our shelves.
