In Glory Islands, you command your pirate crew to navigate and drop off your scurvy sailors onto various island spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful mix of mechanics. The game uses numeric cards to control ship movement, each with special powers like the five-card that allows you to pause and deploy a second pirate. However, be cautious; using too many high-value cards will cost you points at the end of the game. Occupying island spaces grants small bonuses, but filling an island awards a significant number of points to the player with the most crew members present.

Glory Islands is a fast-paced, family-friendly board game that might not offer the depth needed for repeated plays or appeal to hardcore hobbyists. However, it's incredibly enjoyable, especially at this sale price. Balancing the race with strategic placement of your crew to score points while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing can be challenging. The tension of watching other players place their sailors adds excitement, as islands you thought were secure can quickly slip away.

The game includes beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature rum barrels that enhance the pirate king experience.
