Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you'll be strategizing to drop off your crew of scurvy pirates onto various spaces, aiming to win treasures and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics. The game revolves around ship movement controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with special powers. For instance, playing a five allows you to pause and deploy a second pirate. But beware, using too many high-value cards can cost you points at the end of the game. Securing an island space offers small bonuses, but filling an island completely rewards a hefty amount of points to the player with the most crew members on it.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While it may not have the depth for repeated plays or to satisfy hardcore hobbyists, it's incredibly enjoyable, especially at this sale price. Balancing the race with strategic placement of your crew and avoiding penalties for reckless sailing can be surprisingly challenging. There's a real thrill in watching where other players place their sailors, as islands you thought were secured can shift away quickly.

The game comes with beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, plus miniature rum barrels that add to the pirate king ambiance.
