Pure strategy with no hidden information or luck — think Chess or Go.

How It Plays

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Square Grid

The board uses a grid of squares for movement — clear, familiar, and great for tactical play.

About This Game

Cannon is an abstract war game where each player first places a city on the back row, then pieces move trying to capture the opposing city or shoot it with a cannon, which is a special arrangement of three pieces in a row. The complete rules can be found at the publisher's web site.
