Hanniball is a two-player soccer-like abstract board game. Both players have 11 pieces: 1 Monkey (the Keeper), 2 Lions, 4 Elephants and 4 Horses. There is a special piece used in the game that represents the Ball. Pieces move similar to Chess pieces. They can take control of the Ball and move it with them from one square to another, leave it behind or shoot the Ball to other squares. The goal is to shoot the Ball into opponent's goal.
