Glory Islands for 28% Off

Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you'll be strategically dropping off your crew onto different spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics. The game's ship movement is managed by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with special powers—like the five card, which lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious: using too many high-value cards can lead to point deductions at the end of the game. Occupying an island space grants small bonuses, but once an island is fully occupied, the player with the most crew members there scores a significant number of points.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, family-friendly board game that might not have the depth for repeated plays or satisfy hardcore hobbyists, but it's thoroughly enjoyable, especially at this sale price. Balancing the race with strategic placement of your crew to maximize scores while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing is challenging and adds a layer of tension. Watching where other players place their sailors can quickly change the dynamics of which islands you control.

The game comes with beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum, enhancing the pirate king experience.
