Each player is the captain of a fleet of pirate ships, and their goal is to sink all of the opponents' ships – shooting cannonades, of course – and remain the only pirate still afloat. During your turn you can add ships to your fleet or try sinking those of your friends by shooting cannonballs at them. Simple? Yes! The game is explained in 30 seconds but finding and developing a strategy to have the upper hand might not be so easy! -description from the designer
Cannonades has 3 videos from 2 creators: 1 review and 2 how-to-play guides. They date from 2022 to January 2023.
To learn the rules, start with "Cannonades, The Card Game - Gameplay Tutorial [with the prototype]" by Zerofun, which runs 5 min.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "Cannonades, The Card Game - Kickstarter Critique Review" by Bower's Game Corner.
If you like it, try The EVA Engine: Upgrade 1.5, also by Damiano Spagnolo, or Death Valley, Baseball Highlights: 2045 and Star Realms: Frontiers, which share several of its mechanics.
