In Glory Islands, you'll be strategizing to drop off your crew onto various island spaces, aiming to secure treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics that blend into a cohesive game. Ship movement is dictated by numeric cards you play from your hand, which also boast special powers. For example, a card value of five lets you pause and drop a second pirate. However, be wary—using too many high-value cards will dock points at the game's end. Securing an island space earns you small bonuses, but once an island is fully occupied, the player with the most crew there reaps a significant point haul.

Glory Islands offers a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly gaming experience. While it may not have the depth for repeated plays or to satisfy hardcore hobbyists, it's incredibly enjoyable, especially at this sale price. Balancing the race with strategic crew placement and avoiding penalties for reckless sailing can be surprisingly challenging. There's real tension as you watch other players place their sailors, knowing that the islands you thought were yours could swiftly change hands.

The game includes charming wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum, enhancing the feeling of being a miniature pirate king.
