Hoards of Glory

Great game! Easy to play, beautiful art. My game to relax after work!

Fun dice game! easy to pick up and play with friends, great for when you can't hang out in person...

How is this not a standard household game? It's wonderful and needs to be a real game played at the beginning of every game night. I've been recommending it around since the first time I played.

Edit: I have found a few bugs. D3D error that froze the game, upon resuming that save, the AI's kept rolling their winning shields but continuously used them for shields rather than winning the game. A simple dice placement game. With dice games, luck is always a big factor and as long as their is a mechanic to mitigate the luck, the game becomes interesting. In Hoards of Glory your dice choices are: place dice on the board to try to fill it for the win, attack another players dice pool to set them back, defend your dice pool from players that have a large dice pool and may go on the attack, put dice in the bank so you can buy new ones at the beginning of your next turn, any combination of these can be done in a turn. The game has AI players and online, although I don't know how many people have this game so I'm not sure if finding opponents is possible. This is one of those hidden gems, simple and fun.

Surprisingly challenging but quick to pick up dice game that makes you consider the trade-off between using a die to make progress towards your victory condition, or holding it back to build up a larger dice pool to give you more capacity in future turns, though escalating costs as the dice pool grows and the ability of other players to attack your dice keep you from simply building an insurmountable pile of dice to bury your Viking foes under. Good balance of randomness and consequential decisions to make.

Quick, easy to play but has some good decision points. Good UI. Good Fun!

Played a quick SP game and had a blast. Great for those "between times" when waiting for something to start or someone to get ready and just killing time. I can see it being lots of fun in PvP.

Found under local multiplayer tag?? I love this game but please just let me add another human player
