Read the full game description

All heroes need to prove their worth! In Tales of Glory, the players play emerging heroes. Each turn represents a year in the heroes' lives, and each player decides what their hero has done that year (defeated a monster, looted treasure, met people, etc.) to try to gain glory. After ten turns, the player with the most glory wins. Each turn, players simultaneously select a quest they want to do from a common pool. They then have to pay the cost of the quest and place it on their "path of life" connected to another quest they already made or their departure area. Some quests such as slaying monsters bring immediate glory points while others are affected by what players have done before or will do afterwards on their path of life. (Español) Jóvenes héroes ansiosos de aventuras, ¡vuestro momento de gloria ha llegado! Tomad esta espada y este escudo, coged estas monedas y estas pociones. ¡Y no os olvidéis del libro de hechizos! Las tierras que estáis a punto de cruzar están llenas de criaturas a las que vencer y tesoros que obtener. Visitarás lugares increíbles y te encontrarás con sorprendentes personajes. Volveréis a casa siendo un héroe, ¡pero solo el que alcance la gloria se convertirá en una leyenda! En Tales of Glory construirás tu camino hacia la gloria mediante la adquisición de cartas que te permitirán ir creando tu senda, luchando con monstruos, ganando poder y reclutando aliados que te ayudarán a obtener el prestigio para ganar la partida. El sistema de elección de carta al azar le ofrece una profundidad táctica donde averiguar en qué momento una carta es interesante para tu senda o para la de tus oponentes.
