Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you’ll be deploying your scurvy crew onto various spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics that creates a well-rounded experience. Ship movement is managed by playing numeric cards from your hand, which also come with special powers. For example, playing a five allows you to pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious, as using too many high-value cards will cost you points at the game's end. Occupying an island space grants you small bonuses, but once an island is fully occupied, it awards a significant number of points to the player with the most crew members there.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, enjoyable, and family-friendly board game that might not have the depth to keep hardcore hobbyists engaged over multiple plays, but it's certainly worth picking up at this sale price. Striking the right balance between racing well, strategically placing your crew to score points, and avoiding penalties for sailing too recklessly can be quite challenging. The game also adds a layer of tension as you watch where other players position their sailors, as islands you thought were secured can quickly slip away.

The game comes with beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum, enhancing the feeling of being a miniature pirate king.
