Glory Islands for 28% Off

Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you're not just playing a game; you're embarking on a pirate adventure where you drop off your scurvy crew onto island spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful blend of mechanics. The game's ship movement is cleverly managed by playing numeric cards from your hand, which also possess special powers. For instance, the number five card lets you pause and drop a second pirate. But beware, using too many high-value cards at the end of the game can cost you points. Securing an island space earns you small bonuses, but filling an island completely can net you a hefty score if you have the most crew members there.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, enjoyable family-friendly board game that may not offer the depth for repeated plays or satisfy hardcore hobbyists, but at this sale price, it's a fantastic pick-up. Striking the right balance between excelling in the race and hitting the spaces needed to score with your crew, all while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. There's genuine tension as you watch other players strategically place their sailors, as seemingly secured islands can quickly shift allegiance.

The game also boasts charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum, giving you the full pirate king experience.
