The Glasgow Game

Product Information

This vastly increases the player interaction and starts interesting conundrums over building placement. The contracts and architect tiles are laid out in a circle, this smacks a little of Patchwork in the way it looks.

It uses intelligence from Understanding Glasgow to describe health, life circumstances and inequality within the city and has been used by many groups (planners, third sector groups and students in universities and schools) to address strategic issues affecting Glasgow and to formulate transformative responses. Our staff are always happy to offer advice on the latest games, consoles, toys, and tech to keep you playing, just ask! 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. 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.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. So each player can each conceivably take 2 or 3 turns at a time, and you have to calculate, “Is it worth it to go get that building knowing that they can take everything in between or should I risk them taking that building so that I can build up my resources? This would feel fine as the train station requires you to have four other buildings before you can score it, were it not that those four other buildings you need are also very good at generating points.

It looks good on the table and considering it is based in industrial Glasgow, it isn’t completely grey. We are keen to further develop the use of Understanding Glasgow data through the Glasgow Game and invite organisations with an issue that could be explored through the game to p lease contact us. 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.Nobles and rich merchants together enjoy the exquisit canapés, accompanied by good wine and even better Scottish whisky, while they are waiting for the mayor. Build houses and hotels on your property and charge other players rent when they land on your locations. If I make a bad choice, it sets us back a week or two, with her often refusing to play again based on her sour memory of the last experience. However it is always the turn of the player furthest behind on the ring, so skipping a long way ahead often gives your opponent several goes in a row as they catch up to you.

Whoever is farther behind in the circle around town takes the next turn, advancing to whichever town figure they want to visit. But if I don’t build that tenement then perhaps they will, then they would get loads of points and trigger their factories themselves AND still be able to build that park. Each architect will have a couple of buildings placed above it, and using the resources they collect (brick, steel, gold and the wild whiskey token) the players will compete to build these buildings in a four by five grid in the centre of the roundel.Some figures have two random building plans at them, and if you visit one with the right resources, you can pay them, then build something. The Glasgow Game is based on the World Game, developed by the International Futures Forum, and is an interactive way for a group to engage in a conversation about the important issues facing Glasgow and to create recommendations regarding future actions to address challenges.
