Description

Karuba: The Volcano is a thrilling expansion to the popular board game Karuba, designed by Rüdiger Dorn and published in 2016. In this exciting addition, 2 to 4 players compete to navigate their adventurers through the jungle, while also dealing with the challenges of a volcano. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and each playthrough takes around 30 to 40 minutes. The rules are simple, but the gameplay is engaging and fun, as players use grid movement, network and route building, simultaneous action selection, and tile placement to outmaneuver their opponents. The volcano tile adds a new level of complexity to the game, as it cannot be accessed by adventurers and forces them to pay extra movement points when moving nearby. Players must strategically place their volcano on one of their 12 jungle fields, taking care not to block their own paths or create opportunities for their opponents. As the game unfolds, players must balance their need to reach the temples with the challenges posed by the volcano, making for a fun and unpredictable experience. With its unique blend of puzzle-solving, racing, and strategic planning, Karuba: The Volcano is a great addition to the Karuba series, offering a fresh and exciting challenge for fans of the original game.
