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 determined by playing numeric cards from your hand, each possessing unique abilities. For example, the five card lets you pause and deploy a second pirate. However, be cautious; using too many high-value cards will deduct points at the game's end. Occupying island spaces grants minor bonuses, but a full island awards significant points to the player with the most crew members present.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, family-friendly board game. While its depth may not fully satisfy hardcore hobbyists or those seeking extensive replayability, it offers plenty of enjoyment, especially at its sale price. The challenge of balancing race performance with crew placement and avoiding reckless sailing penalties is surprisingly engaging. The strategic tension of observing opponent's crew deployments adds another layer of excitement, as seemingly secure islands can quickly change hands.
The game also includes charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels to enhance the pirate king ambiance.
