The Background.
In early 2021, Dave and Julian of McMiller Entertainment set out to create a category-busting tabletop party game that would offer everything from strategy to dexterity. When they approached me about packaging design, the general concept and gameplay was in place, but they needed help bringing the visual identity to life.
When it came to the visual expression of the game, Dave and Julian wanted something with an elevated design style. Something that didn’t get lost in the sea of endless boardgames on the market. The design challenge was to infuse the sense of excitement that comes from playing the game, while maintaining a certain level of simplicity in the overall design.
Gameplay
Gameplay is simple; play your card, fire your cannonball, and first to link four cannonballs in the ship is the winner!
