Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you'll strategically deploy your scurvy crew across the game board, vying for treasure and points through a delightful blend of mechanics. Ship movement is dictated by playing numbered cards from your hand, each possessing unique abilities. For example, the five card lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, using high-value cards too liberally will cost you points at the end. Occupying island spaces grants small bonuses, but the player with the most crew on a fully occupied island reaps a significant point reward.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While its depth might not fully satisfy hardcore hobbyists or provide endless replayability, it's undeniably enjoyable, especially at the sale price. The challenge of balancing aggressive racing with strategic crew placement and avoiding reckless sailing penalties is surprisingly engaging. The tension mounts as you observe opponents' moves, as seemingly secure islands can quickly change hands.

The game also boasts charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels—perfect for feeling like a true pirate king!
