Who doesn't love diving into the world of pirates, especially when it involves racing your ships across an archipelago of islands? And what could be better than snagging a pirate-themed game at a discounted price? Glory Islands, brought to you by Rio Grande Games, usually retails for $45, but right now, Amazon has it on sale for the specific price of $32.17. That's a 28% discount, making it a steal for any pirate enthusiast.
In Glory Islands, you'll be commanding your scurvy crew to drop onto strategic spaces, aiming to win treasure and score points through a delightful blend of game mechanics that come together seamlessly. The movement of your ship is controlled by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with unique powers. For instance, playing a five allows you to pause and drop a second pirate. However, be cautious, as using too many high-value cards will cost you points at the end of the game. Occupying an island space grants you small bonuses, but filling an island completely can net you a substantial number of points if you have the most crew members there.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While it may not have the depth to keep hardcore hobbyists engaged over multiple plays, it's a fantastic pick-up at this sale price. Striking the right balance between racing well and strategically placing your crew to score points, all while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, can be surprisingly challenging. The game adds real tension as you watch other players position their sailors, with islands you thought were secure potentially slipping away in a heartbeat.
The game comes with beautifully crafted wooden ships and sailor pieces, along with miniature barrels of rum that add to the immersive pirate king experience.
