In Glory Islands, you'll strategically deploy your scurvy crew across the game board, vying for treasure and points through a delightful blend of engaging mechanics. Ship movement is dictated by playing numeric cards from your hand, each possessing unique abilities—for instance, the five card lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be mindful; using too many high-value cards will penalize your final score. Occupying island spaces grants small bonuses, but the island with the most crew members at the end awards a significant point haul.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While its depth might not fully satisfy hardcore hobbyists or stand up to countless replays, it provides ample enjoyment, especially at its sale price. The challenge of balancing a strong race performance with strategic crew placement and avoiding reckless sailing penalties is surprisingly engaging. The tension mounts as you observe opponents' moves, as seemingly secure islands can quickly shift in favor of another player.
The game also includes charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, complemented by miniature rum barrels to enhance that pirate king feeling.
