Glory Islands
In Glory Islands, you'll be navigating your ship and deploying your crew across the board in hopes of securing treasure and accumulating points through a delightful blend of mechanics. The game revolves around strategic ship movement, controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand. These cards don't just dictate your movement; they also come with special powers, like pausing to drop a second pirate with the five card. However, be cautious—using too many high-value cards can lead to a point penalty at the end of the game. Occupying island spaces grants small bonuses, but filling an island completely can score you a substantial number of points if you have the most crew members there.
Glory Islands is a quick, enjoyable, and family-friendly board game. While it may not have the depth to keep hardcore hobbyists engaged over multiple plays, it's definitely worth picking up at this sale price. Striking the right balance between racing well and positioning your crew to score points without recklessly sailing can be challenging. There's also a thrilling element of strategy as you watch where other players place their sailors, as the control over islands can shift unexpectedly.
The game comes complete with charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, plus miniature barrels of rum that enhance the pirate king experience.
