The Glade by R&D Games, Strategy Board Game

An absorbing tile laying game for 1 to 4 players. Play wooden forest tiles onto your player board to create connected sets. Place toadstool tile on the central glade board to indicate single tiles required to create sets of four tiles and claim these with matching forest tiles. Create enclosures for extra actions and points. Its summertime, and amid the forest lies the glade. In The Glade, you fill your personal forest board with sets of wooden forest tiles that feature creatures, leaves, and forest fruits. Create sets of three tiles to place one of your toadstool counters onto the central glade board. Complete a set of four tiles to add a toadstool to your store. Claim toadstool counters from the glade for your store by playing matching forest tiles. Play toadstool counters into enclosures in your forest to create extra actions. When one player has played all twelve of their toadstool counters or when all the forest tiles have been drawn from the bag, the player with the most points wins. After playing the basic game, progress to the “matching” game in which you also match your forest tiles to the creatures, leaves, or forest fruits on your forest board.
