About

Overboard!

Features
Read full description

Two moves. One push. No mercy. Overboard! is a fast, brutal two-player abstract strategy game. Slide your pieces into position — up to two moves per turn — then shove. Force any one of your opponent's pieces off the board and you win on the spot. Simple rules, deep tactics: • Squares move and push. Rounds only move — but they block like champions. • Every turn MUST end with a push. Run out of pushes and you lose. • After you push, the anchor locks your piece in place: no immediate counter-shove. • Rails guard the sides. The ends are open water. WAYS TO PLAY • Pass & Play — one phone, two players, zero setup • Play a Friend — Game Center invites, play at your own pace • Ranked Lobby — matched with strangers near your rating, with a full Elo system • Match History — replay any finished game move by move Learn it in two minutes with the built-in guide. Master it never.
