About the game
What you do in a play session
Feel the heat rising! FantasyForm: Burned Away spices up the base game with a 6-card expansion that brings volcanic chaos right to your tabletop. Volcanic activity is surging, and the impending eruption isn't just a threat – it's a source of raw power! The clever twist is that you can harness this energy to your advantage, provided you're more cunning than your rival. As with all good FantasyForm games, these cards are multi-use, packed with options and strategic depth. You'll need to master two new Forms: Magma and Smoke, which alter the game in fascinating ways. Plus, there's the opportunity to hire a powerful Wizard to boost your magical abilities. The goal is straightforward: leverage this cataclysmic environment to outwit your opponent. It's a small expansion, but it adds an extra layer of depth and new tactics for those who already enjoy the original FantasyForm. Perfect for players who appreciate quick games with tense decisions and a touch of speculation in a fantasy setting.
