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, each possessing unique abilities—like the five card, which lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be mindful! Playing high-value cards too liberally will penalize your final score. Occupying island spaces earns minor bonuses, but the island with the most crew at the end awards a significant point haul.
Glory Islands offers fast-paced, family-friendly fun. While its depth may not fully satisfy hardcore board game enthusiasts or stand up to countless replays, it provides ample enjoyment, especially at its sale price. The challenge lies in balancing the race, strategically deploying your crew to score points, and avoiding penalties for reckless sailing. The tension mounts as you watch opponents place their sailors, as seemingly secure islands can quickly change hands.
The game also includes charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels—perfect for feeling like a true pirate king!
