About the game

What you do in a play session

Fireball Island is a physical and fun adventure where you and your friends explore a volcanic island in search of a giant ruby. The 3D board is the star here, with a spinning idol that launches fireballs (yes, actual marbles!) rolling down the hill, knocking unsuspecting adventurers over. Each player controls an explorer who must climb the mountain, grab the ruby, and escape to the boat—all while dodging glowing projectiles. The game mixes luck (with dice) and a bit of strategy when choosing the safest paths. It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and perfect for a relaxed afternoon with family or friends who don't take games too seriously. Get ready to yell when that fireball heads straight for your explorer!
