“The meat of the matter is Glen Moore is awesome it's easily maybe I'd have to go look I think it's probably our favorite TI L game period we absolutely love it love it to bits there is so much to think about in every game”(8:27)

“This is a really, really excellent game. It kind of snuck up on me. I've heard about it before and I heard that it got a lot of good buzz at, uh, Essen, but it's very simple to teach.”(13:43)

The reviewers praise Glen More II: Chronicles as a fantastic, highly engaging reimplementation of a classic euro game, highlighting its fluid gameplay and the incredible variety added by the modular chronicles.

“It really surprised me how it how well it played, how much it was like Seven Wonders, what it did better than Seven Wonders. And you know, and it's only like 25 bucks. And you get this ton of bang for your buck on this box.”(10:51)

The reviewers find the tile-laying and economic mechanics of Glen More to be engaging and strategically rewarding, offering a compelling spatial puzzle for players.

“It’s just a brilliant design that is deceptively easy on the surface, but jam-packed with difficult choices and opportunities for tactical decision making once you dig into it.”

“Even though this isn't a very deep game, there's some definite strategy involved in taking the right tiles, placing them in the right places, and getting the best combination of different activations of tiles in order to work in your favor.”(7:33)

“We did that and we're not really that disappointed in it because it is a solid euro game. The chain rondelle mechanism is really, really interesting. You've got to be very mindful about how far ahead you're going to go or how far back you're going to go.”(8:49)

“Playing Glen More feels a lot like eating vegetables or reading Ulysses: I recognize that it’s a beneficial experience, something I should enjoy, but it’s not one that I’m too excited about.”
