Who doesn't love a pirate game, especially one that involves racing ships around an archipelago of islands? And, even better, what about a pirate game that's currently on sale? Glory Islands, brought to you by Rio Grande Games, typically retails for $45. However, Amazon is offering it at the oddly-specific price of $32.17, which translates to a 28% discount. That's quite a steal!

Glory Islands
In Glory Islands, you'll be strategically dropping off your scurvy crew onto various spaces with the aim of winning treasure and scoring points. This game combines a fun mix of different mechanics that come together to create an engaging and cohesive experience. Ship movement is managed by playing numeric cards from your hand, each with special 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 at the end of the game will cost you points. Occupying an island space earns you small bonuses, but once an island is full, the player with the most crew members there scores a significant number of points.
Glory Islands is a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly board game. While it may lack the depth for repeated plays or to satisfy hardcore hobbyists, it's incredibly enjoyable at its sale price. Striking the right balance between excelling in the race and strategically placing your crew to score points, all while avoiding penalties for reckless sailing, can be surprisingly challenging. The game also adds tension as you watch where other players position their sailors, as islands you thought were secured can quickly slip away.
The game comes with appealing wooden ships and sailor pieces, as well as miniature barrels of rum, enhancing the feeling of being a pirate king.
