CORBALL Corball is a sci-fi sports-game that pits players against each other in high octane zero-gravity matches for the control of the ball while avoiding asteroids and other hazards. With mind blowing art, spectacular flying miniatures and a gameplay designed to ignite long term competition, it’s the sports-game of the future. Corball’s being developed by Burning Games and Big Child Creatives, and will launch on Kickstarter Q4 2018.
Core gameplay Corball is a strategic game for 2-4 players. Each controls a team with the aim of achieving more Victory Points (VP) than the opponent. VPs are awarded at the end of each round to players who are in control of a ball at that point. Additionally, VPs are deducted for every player that drops its health to 0 or abandons the field. Possesion of the ball and maiming the opponent are the pathways to victory.
The board Corball takes place in a 4x4 grid (the field) that sits below a transparent board. The field changes every round to represent forward motion. When change happens, effects such as meteorites will damage players, tire them out etc. All of this forces players to plan ahead in a changing environment.
Symbols that lie in the center of a square affect the players that stand on top of it at the end of the round, just as the board changes. Meteorites and space debris make an appearance in this fashion, along with other effects.
Barriers lie between squares and affect players as soon as they cross them. Barriers can damage the players, tire them out, give them inertia and so on. Some players can switch them on and off at will.
Players will receive directional inertia (represented in the shape of tokens) when they cross inertia barriers. This effect will add up in any direction and will be resolved at the end of each round, Players may end up expelled from the board if they do nothing to counterbalance inertia.
Other tokens represent Victory Points (top left), corballs (top right) and exhaustion (bottom).
The miniatures All Corball miniatures will be created in “flying� posture (on top of a flying stand) by one of the leading mini creators in the industry: Big Child Creatives.We are aiming for high quality, single piece plastic minis.
The teams There are four preset teams and a pool of interchangeable mercenaries in the core game, each with their own abilities. Get to know them in the following pages!
Space Sharks are Corball’s most agressive team. Their core strategy is beating their opponent to a pulp.
Bullbugs have been genetically enhanced to improve their resilience and brute force. Slimy!
They may be the physically weakest team, but the Technotics have technology on their side. They are consumate hackers.
Preachers excel on teamwork; they can read each other’s minds and play amazing ball-tricks.
Mercs are versatile players that can be added to any team, making them perfect for suprise strategies.
