Great dexterity game, I really like it. You get lots of guys, there are around 15 scenarios included, you get walls, cavalry, archers (they are awesome) and infantry, and there are lots of special tokens.

The artwork is good, but we just aren't really into the dexterity games.

Because of the similar basic units, modifiers and gameplay, the comparison to Taktika is inevitable. Both are easy to learn, boardless flicking skirmish games, playable anywhere with large enough smooth surface.

I haven't even bothered with Glyderion for a while, why should one play both? Because of the more variety Glyderion provides, as I learned later, and for the more strategic play. Taktika requires and rewards trick shots in exchange for a simpler, more elegant play, while Glyderion's slightly larger number of units proved forgiving dexterity-wise, and puts the emphasis on strategic positioning, especially in scenarios where walls and catapults are involved.

While Taktika is more streamlined and I prefer its nuances, Glyderion is downright more fun according to my kids, as they choose it anytime over Taktika.

Surprisingly good filler. Would be better if it was more than two player. Lots of fun and not that difficult to make or play.
