Cannonball Colony

About this board game

Cannonball Colony is a 60-minute strategy game for 2–4 players about competing countries settling a deserted island and fighting for supremacy.

It is the golden age of colonialism, and ships from different countries have reached a beautiful island at the same time. Each player takes the role of one of these countries, seeking to claim the island and establish the strongest presence.

Expand your influence by building a strategic network of roads and forts. Roads help extend your reach across the island, while forts represent the positions you must establish and protect. Every construction decision contributes to your broader campaign for control.

Rival settlements will not simply stand aside. Set up cannons in the right positions to blow away opposing forts and weaken your competitors’ influence. The island becomes a contest of expansion, positioning, and carefully timed attacks as each country attempts to remain dominant.

• Players: 2–4
• Playing time: approximately 60 minutes
• Core objective: have the most forts standing at the end of the game

The winner is the player with the most forts still standing when the game ends, claiming the island for their country. Success in Cannonball Colony depends on extending your network while choosing effective cannon positions against rival defenses.

With its combination of island settlement, territorial influence, fort construction, and direct cannon attacks, Cannonball Colony presents a focused struggle for colonial supremacy. Build wisely, defend your growing presence, and fire when the opportunity is right.
