About this game

A volcanic island erupts from the sea, and you must settle it before rivals claim the best spots. On your turn, place a volcano tile to expand the island, then build huts, temples, or towers. The twist: volcanoes can erupt over existing terrain, destroying buildings and raising the elevation. Building temples requires surrounding them with huts, and towers need three-story-high platforms. Elegant tile-laying with surprising aggression.
