Hidden Victory Points
Abstract Strategy
Description
In Battle Balloons, you'll navigate the skies of random chance and rely on strategic trickery to emerge victorious. As the captain of a hot air balloon fleet, your goal is to pop your opponent's Crown Balloon before they pop yours. The catch is that the location of each player's Crown and Trap balloons is hidden, adding a layer of bluffing and hidden information to the game. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Battle Balloons is easy to learn and can be played with 2 to 4 players in just 15 to 30 minutes. As you take turns clicking your opponent's balloons to reduce their health, you'll need to balance attacking and fortifying your own balloons to stay ahead. With the ability to designate certain balloons as Crowns or Traps, you can outmaneuver your opponents and catch them off guard. But be careful - popping a Trap balloon can immediately lose you the game. Designed by Daniel King and David Page, Battle Balloons is an abstract strategy game that requires a combination of luck and strategic thinking to win. Whether you're playing with two players or a larger group, the game is easy to set up and play, making it a great addition to any game night.
