Great game for all the family young and old to play
Bought for our 7 year old grandson as one of his Christmas presents from us. We all played it over Christmas and it was so much fun we laughed so much especially with us all wearing our eye patches. As itâs all made from âsustainableâ materials the elastic on the eye patches looks like someoneâs old knicker elastic ð¤£ð¤£ just hope it isnât𤣠Remember those days when knicker elastic was a thing. But joking apart I definitely recommend this game.

Really good fun!
Nicely made, nicely thought out. Kids have won every game so far, so no âadult advantageâ!

Excellent eco-friendly game, but elements feel quite fragile
This is a fabulous game that keeps all of the family entertained every weekend after Sunday lunch. The age of our players ranges from 10-years-old to 79 (almost 80!) and we all have as much fun playing it. The only problem we have is deciding who plays first because this game is only designed for a maximum of four players.This game is completely plastic free with most of the components made from cardboard. The boat folds to store flat and I am not sure how long it will remain in playing condition because it does feel quite fragile.I think that we probably spent half of the game playing time searching around the floor for the overshot cannonballs, but that just added to the fun and became a game of its own trying to race to be the first to find the cannonballs and return them to the table.My 10-year-old granddaughter quickly mastered the skills required to decide which card to play and when to play it in order to get the best opportunity of winning. We only had to refer back to the game playing instructions a few times before we were able to master the rules for each card played. The pirates eye patches added to the fun and it was entertaining watching everyone try to aim and fire their cannonball with only one eye!This is a game that is quick to learn and fun to play, but I do think that the current price of £29.99 is quite expensive because it is mainly made from a thin cardboard material.

Arrrghhhhh
This is a cracking game and very well made. Youngest player was 9, oldest was 92 and both thought it was great fun. The 92 year old won the most games.

I saw a video for this on tiktok and thought it’d be the ideal Xmas gift for my grandson and his mum to play.It looks great fun and a clever design where the ship is part of the box.I’ll find out soon if he likes it or not ð

Great fun for all of us
My granddaughter isn’t usually interested in games but I thought she’d like this one and she did. We liked the way that you could finish it at a set point in a fun way. It’s fantastic the way that it unfolds into the boat and is quite sturdy. It’s good value for money. My granddaughter still enjoys it

Itâs hard to find a board game everyone likes. I like RPGâs, gramdma likes card games, the kids like straight forward games like Sorry. But everyone loved Fire in the Hole! We have only played a couple of rounds but I can tell this is how the house favorite. This game is an absolute must have. The theme, the card quality, the board are all high quality as well.

Love this! My kids are a little bit younger than this is intended for. So we just played rock paper scissors to see who won to pick who gets to shoot. Some rounds they would all shoot to get their colored balls in while I spun the whole ship. Lots of fun for the whole family. The adults loved it as much as the kids. Amazing packaging! Super fun and well thought out game!

It seems like the game is trying to sell itself as being sustainably, eco-friendly, sourced. I respect the attempt to care about the planet and all, but the game shouldn’t have to suffer for it. Also, I wonder if the emphasis on advertising how eco-friendly it is matches how successful it is at actually being better for the environment. After all, reusable bags end up being worse for the environment in the hands of someone who is conscientious enough to dispose of plastic bags properly.I guess that is my long way of saying… give me plastic/metal cannonballs.The game was fun, if maybe a little too silly. There is card play that allows those who may struggle with the dexterity elements to find a different way to win. And, there is a die that randomizes throws enough that you can’t just win by being clever with your cards. That said, I usually lose to my wife in these kind of games, but right when I was one throw away from my first win, she played a card that switched who has which color. Two throws later, she stole the win from me. So, while it is nice in theory, it could also end up being even more discouraging, especially if you are playing with younger kids who struggle with throw dexterity, placement strategy, and card management. Instead of one or two elements to overcome or deal with there are three or four.While all that can be dealt with and is random enough it is hard to get mad, the thing that frustrated us with our first few plays was just the behaviour of the cannonballs. They are so lightweight and spongey that they usually bounced right out of the ship. There wasn’t any weight to them where you could just sink a shot. And if you try to strategically bounce a shot, it’ll probably go widely off target. I could also see a long term issue as the balls could fray from handling becoming more vulnerable to air resistance and more unpredictable in bounces. Hopefully, instead they’ll compact and become more solid and predictable.I should also mention you need to keep your elbows at your side the whole time. So it feels more like you are flinging the balls like a T-rex might than actually throwing anything.Overall, we had fun with the game. We just felt a few tweaks to components could have improved it. It really ended up feeling like the ability/desire to market the environmentally friendly production overshadowed the dedication to having the components play the intended game. That said, nothing was so bad that we vowed never to play it again. We’ll be trying it again shortly. So we’ll at least have a few plays out of it.
