Imagine the carnival game where you throw darts at balloons, but instead of popping on the 1st hit, balloons take between 2-6 hits to pop. In addition, only some balloons are instant winners.
The goal is to pop the Balloon your opponent designated as Crown before they pop your Crown Balloon. Players take turns clicking their opponent's balloons to reduce balloon health and eventually pop them.
Battle Balloons gameplay has Stratego vibes in that you hide a Crown from your opponent and players take turns attacking each other. The strategy lies in predicting how your opponent will play and avoiding giving away what you're thinking.
Navigate the airs of random chance and rely on strategic trickery to pop before you yourself are popped.
