Glory Islands

Glory Islands is a strategic board game designed for 2 to 4 players aged 14 and above. In this game, players assume the roles of pirates navigating the Caribbean seas, aiming to accumulate glory and treasures to become the "King of the Pirates."

Gameplay Overview:

• Objective: The primary goal is to amass the most glory points by the end of the game. Players achieve this by placing their pirate meeples on various islands, collecting treasures, and engaging in strategic maneuvers.
• Game Rounds: The game progresses through a series of rounds where players simultaneously play sailing cards from their hands. The values on these cards determine the turn order, the movement distance of ships, and the placement of pirates on the board.
• Pirate Placement: Strategic placement of pirates on islands is crucial. When all spaces on an island are occupied, the player with the most pirates there gains the most glory. Additionally, pirates may earn treasure tokens or barrels, which can influence the game's outcome.
• Endgame: The game concludes when one or more pirate ships complete the circuit around the islands. The player with the highest accumulated glory is declared the winner.
