Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you'll be strategically dropping off your crew onto different spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics. The game's ship movement is controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand, which also come with special powers. For example, playing a five lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious, as using too many high-value cards at the game's end could cost you points. Securing an island space earns you small bonuses, but once an island is full, the player with the most crew members there scores a significant number of points.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While it may not offer the depth needed for repeat plays or appeal to hardcore hobbyists, it's incredibly enjoyable, especially at its current sale price. Balancing the race aspect with the strategic placement of your crew to score points, all while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, can be surprisingly challenging. The game also adds tension as you watch other players place their sailors, as islands you thought were secure can quickly shift allegiance.

The game comes complete with beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum, allowing you to truly feel like a pirate king as you build your stockpile.
