In Glory Islands, you'll command your scurvy crew, navigating the seas to drop them onto island spaces in pursuit of treasure and points. The game's mechanics blend seamlessly, creating a delightful experience. You'll manage ship movement using numeric cards from your hand, each with special powers—like the five card that lets you pause and deploy a second pirate. But beware, using too many high-value cards can cost you points at the end. Securing spots on islands earns you small bonuses, and once an island is fully occupied, the player with the most crew members there scores big.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, enjoyable family-friendly board game. While it might not have the depth for repeated plays or appeal to hardcore hobbyists, it's incredibly fun, especially at this sale price. Striking the right balance between racing well and strategically placing your crew to score points, without incurring penalties for reckless sailing, can be challenging. The game adds real tension as you watch your opponents' moves, knowing that an island you thought was secured can quickly slip away.
Enhancing the experience are the charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels that let you feel like a true pirate king.
