In Glory Islands, you'll be dropping off your scurvy crew onto various spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics that creates a cohesive and enjoyable experience. Ship movement is cleverly managed by playing numeric cards from your hand, which also feature special powers. For instance, playing a five lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious: using too many high-value cards could cost you points at the end of the game. Occupying an island space earns you small bonuses, but filling an island secures a substantial number of points for the player with the most crew members there.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game that, while not deep enough for repeated plays or hardcore hobbyists, offers plenty of enjoyment at its current sale price. Striking the right balance between racing well and strategically placing your crew to score points, all while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, is a challenging yet rewarding experience. There's genuine tension in watching where other players place their sailors, as seemingly secured islands can slip away from you surprisingly fast.
The game also includes charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum that help you feel like a true pirate king.
