🥥 Coconut Cannon by Pirate Wizards is a lightning-fast game for 2-5 players. The goal? Be the first to discard your entire deck by matching cards from your hand to the central pile. Match by number, color, or play one of the special action cards to gain an edge. Since gameplay is simultaneous, there are no turns—just pure speed!
The four special cards add a layer of chaos and strategy:
Double Doubloon: Discard two extra cards.
Kraken Grab: Swap your hand or draw pile with another player.
Coconut Cannon: Discard your entire hand in one go.
Mersong: Temporarily stops a player from playing until five cards are played—unless they sing the mermaid’s song to rejoin the fun!
🎮 How it plays:
Everyone plays at once, racing to match a card from their hand to the central discard pile
