From the moment you see the box it screams quality with vibrant art drawing you in. Probably the prettiest game on our game shelf. Awaken Realms has done a tremendous job at polishing every aspect of this game. If you have never played Castles of Burgundy, it is one of the highest ranking games. Rolling dice and then attempting to use them to your best ability regardless of the value to build out your duchy provides some crunchy decision making, but still allows the game to flow well. There is so much content in this edition of the game with many expansions,  of those we have only played a few so far. This game plays well in both 2 players and high player counts. We have often played this game with 3 to 4 players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor us we rank this game a 9 \/ 10. Production quality is good, artwork is excellent, and gameplay and content is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease be mindful there are two variants for the Special Edition that are not easily identifiable on the box.

Fifty years ago, business was blooming when the codfish would come for spawning. Today, Nusfjord is more of a museum than a village, with less than a hundred people living there.

The success of your clan depends on your ability to make the right decision at the right time, be it by creating a new pasture for your livestock, growing barley for whisky production, selling your goods on the various markets, or gaining control of special landmarks such as lochs and castles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game lasts four rounds, represented by four stacks of tiles. After each round, a scoring phase takes place in which players compare their number of whisky casks, scotsmen in the home castle, landmark cards, and persons against the player with the fewest items in each category and receives victory points (VPs) based on the relative difference. After four rounds, additional VPs are awarded for gold coins and some landmarks while VP penalties are assessed based on territory size, comparing each player's territory to the smallest one in play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core mechanism of \u003cem\u003eGlen More II: Chronicles\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGlen More\u003c\/em\u003e functions the same way: The last player in line takes a tile from a time track, advancing as far as they wish on this track. After paying the cost, they place this tile in their territory, with this tile activating itself and all neighboring tiles, triggering the production of resources, movement points, VPs, etc. Then the player who is last in line takes their turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImprovements over the original \u003cem\u003eGlen More\u003c\/em\u003e include bigger tiles, better materials, new artwork, the ability for each player to control the end of the game, and balancing adjustments to the tiles for a better suspense curve. The game is designed to consist of one-third known systems, one-third new mechanisms, and one-third improvements to \u003cem\u003eGlen More\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Chronicles\" in the title — a set of eight expansions to the base game — are a major part of these new mechanisms. Each Chronicle adds a new gameplay element to the base game. The \"Highland Boat Race\" Chronicle, for example, tells the story of a boat race in which the winner needs to be the first to reach their home castle after navigating their boat along the river through all the other players' territories. The \"Hammer of the Scots\" Chronicle adds a neutral \"Englishman\" playing piece to the time track that players struggle to control to get an additional turn — if they can afford him, that is, as he is paid using the market mechanism. All Chronicles can be freely combined, although designer Matthias Cramer suggests that players use only one or two unless they want a \"monster game\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother major change to the game is the ability to invest in famous Scottish people of the time, who are represented through a new \"person\" tile type. Persons not only have their own scoring, they also trigger one-time or ongoing effects on the tactical clan board. This adds a new layer of decision making, especially since the ongoing effects allow players to focus on a personal strategy of winning through the use of the clan board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Funtails","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46824730034402,"sku":"GlenmoreMay26","price":114.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4066\/0450\/files\/glen-more-ii-chronicles-69779_43ece.jpg?v=1757114499"},{"product_id":"clans-of-caledonia-1","title":"Clans of Caledonia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3rd Edition (Oct 2025)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClans of Caledonia \u003c\/b\u003eis an award winning mid to heavy economic strategy board game set in the 19th-century Scotland, a period of transformation from rural farming to bustling industry and globe trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers lead historic Scottish clans with unique abilities, competing to produce, trade, and export valuable goods - including Scotlands iconic whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game features a dynamic market where prices shift with supply and demand, offering rich player interaction and strategic choices that immerse you in Scotland's early Industrial Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Personal Review and Recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is my number 1 Game of all Time. I have played this game many times, has excellent re-playability, a very balanced yet asymmetrical factions that play quite differently due to their abilities - though some strategies involved are much harder than others and would be for more experienced players. The constant change of end goals every game causes a dramatic shift in everyone's strategy, which is probably what I like the most about this game. You cannot ignore the round benefits, you must adapt your unique strategy the game presents each play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponentry wise the game is a wonderful feel of traditional timber pieces, and old style euro artwork that I absolutely adore and crave. The layout and map gives this feel of exploration, yet settling your clans and reaching distant lands to score or gain benefits. Player interaction is very high in this game, with every play being thoughtful of where your opponent may go, want to go, or what farms have they built that you can interact with. Then there is the market, a dynamic market that adjusts based on who is buying and who is selling what. Think an opponent is about to sell  a whole heap of milk, maybe you should sell your milk before they do! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFantastic best game ever made. You won't regret it, and has remained my number 1 game for several years now. Whilst BGG only rates this game 7.9, I'll would give it a 9! My biggest complaint would be that some of the factions are harder to play and some rules could be a little clearer in certain aspects (requiring a few looks ups on forums for some more intricate scenarios).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgrades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo we have upgrades?
