It’s summertime, and deep in the forest lies the glade.

In The Glade, you will fill your personal forest board with sets of forest tiles (played from your tile rack) that feature creatures, leaves, and forest fruits. Complete sets of three tiles to place a toadstool counter on the central glade board, or finish a set of four tiles to add a toadstool to your store. Collect toadstool counters from the glade by playing matching forest tiles and place them in enclosures within your forest to gain additional actions.

The game ends when one player has placed all twelve of their toadstool counters or when all the forest tiles are drawn. The player with the most points wins.

After mastering the basic game, you can advance to the "matching" game, where you also match forest tiles to the creatures, leaves, or forest fruits on your board.
