The map is usually designed with a series of ribbon-like structures around the edge of the map and sometimes scattered throughout. The ribbons are typically simple in form, but can be intricate. The gaps between the ribbons provide the method by which the worms can be drowned.
A large selection of weapons is provided, including several of the more powerful weapons such as the Holy Hand Grenade and Banana Bomb, and several super weapons such as the Super Banana, Ming Vase, Salvation Army and Magic Bullet. All weapons are provided in unlimited supply.
Some of these weapons are made even more powerful by the weapon upgrades; for the Grenade, Banana, Shotgun and Longbow.
Only one transport tool is provided; the Ninja Rope, with a quantity of 2. As worms are anchored, this is the only way that worms can get around the map.
The Baseball Bat is provided for occasions where a close-combat move is required.
The scheme is supported by HostingBuddy

- Change weapons every turn - Players must not use the same weapon twice in a row. When playing in teams, players must not use the weapon last used by their team.
