Paths of Glory: The First World War, 1914-1918 is a strategy board wargame, designed in 1999 by the six-time Charles S. Roberts Awards winner Ted Raicer and published by GMT Games. It covers the World War I from its outbreak to the American intervention, with a map of Europe and the Middle East as the game board. The game features an innovative card-driven system featuring four types of cards: operational movement, strategic movement, special events and replacement points.[1]
The game has won the 1999 Charles S. Roberts Awards for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame, the 2000 International Gamers Award,[1] and the Games 100 Best Historical Simulation Game in 2001.[2]
In 2001 GMT released the add-on Paths of Glory Player's Guide, which is a 48-page booklet containing articles with tips, tactics, strategies and game variants. In addition it includes 20 new cards and a 1/4 sheet of additional counters.[3]
