The rules, step by step
Setup
Paths of Glory setup involves distributing mobilization strategy cards to each player, forming initial hands, and deploying military units across key locations on the game map. Players must carefully position their armies and corps, accounting for national affiliations and supply lines, to establish a strong defensive and offensive posture before the first action phase begins.
Objective
The primary objective is to lead your alliance to victory in World War I by controlling strategic victory point spaces, outmaneuvering enemy forces, and fulfilling historical war commitments. Success requires balancing military aggression with logistical management to maintain supply lines and reinforce critical fronts across Europe and the Middle East.
On your turn
Gameplay unfolds over twenty turns, each structured into eight distinct phases: mandated offensives, action phases, attrition, peace terms, war status updates, replacement, strategy card draw, and end of turn. The core gameplay centers on the action phase, where players alternate playing strategy cards to execute operations, redeployments, or events.
Scoring
Scoring is tracked on the general records track through victory points earned by capturing enemy-controlled spaces, successfully executing mandated offensives, and playing specific events. Players must constantly monitor their war status and victory point markers to gauge their progress toward total dominance.
Game end
The game ends when one side reaches the required victory point threshold, typically twenty points for the Central Powers or zero for the Allied Powers, or when an armistice is declared upon reaching the final space of the combined war status track, determining the ultimate victor of the conflict.
Tips
To succeed in Paths of Glory, players should carefully coordinate their strategic redeployments, manage replacement points efficiently to maintain unit strength, and time the play of critical event cards to maximize their impact on the war effort while keeping a close eye on their opponent's resource levels.
