Glow

Glow

Players act as adventurers who recruit one new traveling companion each turn to build a company and combine complementary abilities. Dice are rolled to trigger companions’ benefits or drawbacks, while card-drafting and hand management shape which powers are available. Players collect shards of light to dispel darkness, restore colors, and move across the map to reach landmarks, scoring points for goals achieved. The game mixes dice-driven resolution with strategic card combinations and includes colorful dice and choice of two boards for different play experiences.
