No time pressure though, take as long as you need to think your move through. The mechanics are extremely easy to learn, but you will need to think to get the perfect score. You are rewarded for playing smart! The less moves you take, the higher the reward. So if you enjoy games that make you think your moves through, Knockball is for you! However if you just want to let some steam off, there's nothing more satisfying than going wild and causing mayhem on the table or playing against an AI opponent and winning.

Ahoy matey. A classical puzzle game brought back from the 16th century played by princesses, kings and anyone who enjoys a mind challenge. A game worthy of royalty. Enjoy the game with a captains view. Use the arrow keys to jump over a piece and remove it with another piece until you have 1 last standing in the middle of the board. Fill the void and empty your board and mind. With 45 holes a german version of solitaire filled a dream of the sea. Savvy?
