Glory Islands
$32.17 at Amazon In Glory Islands, you'll be strategizing to drop your crew onto spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics that come together seamlessly. The movement of your ships is controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with special powers. For instance, playing a five card lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious—overuse of high-value cards can lead to point deductions at the game's end. Securing spots on islands yields small bonuses, but once an island is fully occupied, the player with the most crew members there reaps a significant point haul.
Glory Islands offers a fast-paced, enjoyable experience perfect for family game nights. While it may not have the depth for repeated plays or appeal to hardcore hobbyists, it's a delightful pick at this sale price. Balancing your performance in the race while aiming to score with your crew, and avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, presents a surprisingly challenging yet fun experience. There's real excitement in watching where other players position their sailors, as the control of islands can shift dramatically and quickly.
The game comes complete with charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels that enhance the pirate king atmosphere.
