Board Game Arena

In Glow, you are an adventurer who builds their company by recruiting a new traveling companion each turn, trying to combine their powers as best as possible. You will roll the dice to activate the advantages that your companions bring you...or their disadvantages. Gather many slivers of light to dispel the darkness, restore the colors, travel the land to reach landmarks, and (yes) score points.

Glow is a tactical fantasy game about dice rolling, card drafting, push your luck and set collection. The idea is to draft the companion cards considering their abilities and how they will work together, as well as considering which dice they will give for the round. After the draft phase, the dice are rolled, and the abilities are triggered: for good or bad. Then players can move on the board towards spots that are more valuable. After 8 rounds, the person with the most points will be the winner!

There are card-drafting, dice-rolling, and combinations. The game contains a lot of colorful dice, and two game boards for two different gaming experiences. You have also to count on luck sometimes, but be attentive to your card combinations, too.

Thanks
The game universe deserve a black & white UI like this, I quickly felt it was the only way.

Nice. Awesome Black and White look. Thank you for putting it on here.

And the announcement is even complete with Black and White Flanders!

Oh, nifty! I got this game for my birthday and now it's here. I was coming to think of it as somehow my own thing that only I'd heard of... so this feels kind of like my heart being opened to the world. But in a good way?

We'll see, I guess! I shall look for some games to join.

Great job with the implementation! The B&W UI perfectly fits the atmosphere

Solo Reminder

To play a solo game, you have follow these steps:
- Go to the Play Now link at the top of the screen set the three options at the top to Simple Game, Real-Time or Turn-based, and Manual
- Find the game you wish to play and create a new table
- Change the Game mode in the left side to "Training Mode"
- Change "Number of players" to 1
- Click "Open table to other players", then click "Start Game".

I was going through the tutorial and noticed a typo on the 4th (last) popup on Day 4. It says "where you encampment". It should be "where your encampment".
Excellent job on the game and tutorial! I think I may go through a solo game or two before inviting my friends to play and suggest they do the same.
