Clans and Glory Strategy Card Game

About this product

Gather your clan, time your shields, and claim glory in the Scottish Highlands.

A quick tactical card game for 2–4 players, with clever timing, card placement, and charming Highland artwork.

Build the strongest clan by placing cards wisely, timing your shields, and collecting the best followers.

Product Description

Step into the misty Scottish Highlands, where clan chiefs gather to choose their followers and build the strongest clan.

In Clans and Glory, players take turns placing cards around shared meeting-place boards. Each card must match either the colour or rank of a nearby card, so every placement can shift the value of the whole table. After placing a card, you may also place one of your wooden shields on that meeting place, but timing is everything. Place too early and you may collect lower-value cards. Wait too long and another chief may claim the best followers first.

At the end of the game, the shields decide who collects which cards from each meeting place. The player with the highest total value becomes the most successful clan chief and wins the glory of the Highlands. The rulebook confirms the game includes 6 meeting-place tableaus, 42 cards, and 20 wooden shields, with the goal focused on clever card placement and collecting high-value clan members.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the cards, wooden shields, and meeting-place tableaus stored safely in the box after play. Use on a clean, dry surface and avoid moisture, food spills, and bending the cards. Because the game uses small wooden pieces, pack the shields away carefully after each game so nothing goes missing between plays.
