About this game

Fireball Island puts you on a cursed volcanic island chasing the Jewel of Vul-Kar, and the mountain fights back the moment you get close. A marble sits perched at the summit, and one wrong move sends it thundering down the molded plastic slopes to knock unlucky players flat and scatter their treasure. Racing rivals, dodging the marble, and grabbing loot before someone else beats you to the escape point turns a simple race into pure tabletop spectacle. Originally an 80s Milton Bradley favorite, it earned a whole new generation of fans after its glorious modern reprint.
