Celebrate the 700-year-old tradition of Bavarian glass-making in Glass Road!

In Uwe Rosenberg's classic resource management and tile placement game, players take on the role of medieval glass-makers tasked with the production of glass and bricks. Over four building periods, players will use their identical hands of 15 Specialists and attempt to outwit and outplay their opponents as they develop their landscape, gather resources, and erect prominent buildings and structures to keep their business (and profits) flowing.

Mastering the balance of knowing the best specialist card to play and being flexible about when you play it — together with assembling a clever combination of buildings — is the key to this game.

This edition of Glass Road includes previously released promotional material: the Oktoberfest and Adventskalender tiles and the Harlekin card for use in the solitaire version of the game.
