About the game
Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game is a pulp-adventure board game set in the late 1930s, where 1-8 players race across the globe as treasure hunters battling Nazis and villains to recover ancient artifacts. Combining cooperative movement, push-your-luck dice rolling, and pick-up-and-deliver mechanics, it captures the cliffhanger action of classic adventure films. Players can work together or race for personal glory, with variable player powers giving each hero a distinct playstyle. A big, thematic adventure with a long, sprawling playtime to match its ambitious scope.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editors love the pulpy, over-the-top adventure theme of Fortune and Glory: it practically plays like an interactive movie. Be prepared for a long game night though, as its scale and component count make for a substantial commitment.
