Building Virtual Worlds (1st-Year Course)
1306 (RPIS) – Overboard
PC/Xbox Controller
8 Players
Overboard is a chaotic 4v4 pirate party game where you and your friends load cannonballs, panic-repair your sinking ship, and occasionally “accidentally” shove each other into the ocean. You can even jump onto the enemy ship just to cause trouble and ruin their plans. It’s fast, stupid, loud, and guaranteed to damage friendships, but only in the fun way.
