Clans and Glory

In Clans and Glory, you take part in an ancient ritual: the free people of the Scottish Highlands have come from near and far to the meeting place to join a clan chief. Can you win the most followers? To set up, lay out 4-6 landscape boards depending on the player count and place random cards from the deck in certain locations. Each card is one of seven colors and is valued 3-8. On a turn, a player places a card from their hand in an empty space next to or across from a card of the same color or value, then optionally places one of their five clan tokens on the same location board where they placed a card. Once all players have placed 7-8 cards, the game ends, then you resolve clan ownership of each location board. For each board, flip the tokens on this board upside down so that the first played token is on top. The owner of this token claims all of the lowest-valued cards on this board, then the owner of the next token in the stack claims all of the (next) lowest-valued cards on this board, etc. Each player then sums the cards they have claimed. Whoever has the highest sum wins.
