Glory Islands

$32.17 at Amazon

In Glory Islands, you'll command your scurvy crew, navigating them onto spaces in pursuit of treasure and points through a delightful blend of mechanics that come together seamlessly. Ship movement is controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with special powers—like the five card, which allows you to pause and drop a second pirate. But beware, using too many high-value cards will cost you points at the game's end. Occupying an island space earns you small bonuses, but once an island is full, the player with the most crew members there scores a hefty amount of points.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While it might not have the depth to keep hardcore hobbyists engaged over multiple plays, it's highly enjoyable, especially at this sale price. Striking the right balance between excelling in the race and strategically placing your crew to score points—without incurring penalties for reckless sailing—can be surprisingly challenging. The tension of watching where other players position their sailors adds an exciting dynamic, as islands you thought were secured can shift away from you quickly.

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