Overview

What ABG knows about this game

You wanted a vacation. You’ve found an adventure. You’ve just arrived at Volcano Island. Instead of a tropical paradise, the island before you rumbles and shakes with a sinister force. You’ve heard the legend, and fear the worst: the magical Tiki has been released. Players work together to find and return the four Guardian Totems to the volcano, and they must complete this task before the time on the volcano runs out. Rolling the die results in either movement of your player pawn, movement of the Tiki or drawing a tool card. Obstacle tiles, which are placed on top of the mystery tiles, are removed through having the correct tool cards. The mystery tiles are then flipped to either reveal a Guardian Totem, nothing, or an ambush by the Tiki.
