Great Lakes
Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
At the start of the game, Canada places 4 Great Lakes (cups of water) next to their normal game cups. They can be placed anywhere, as long as at least one edge is touching a normal game cup. If the opposition sinks a Great Lake cup, both Canadian players get an extra shot on their next turn. Canada cannot choose Great Lake cups as collateral for trick shots or bounce shots, however, they do count towards grenades and balls back (see Country Interactions). The opposition does not need to sink lake cups to win.

| Balls Back/ Grenade | If the opposition achieves a Balls Back or a Grenade by only sinking Great Lake cups, the balls are either returned to opposition or surrounding game cups are drunk, as normal, and Canada recieves 4 additional shots on their next turn. Canada cannot receive more than 4 additional shots on their turn through consecutive balls back or opposition abilities. |
