## Description
If you thought Vul-Kar's island was dangerous enough with fireballs flying everywhere, get ready to brace yourself! This expansion is here to crank up the chaos and turn your tabletop into a true dexterity battlefield. The goal isn't just surviving the volcano anymore; it's about dealing with some very unwelcome new neighbors who decided to crash the party.

First up, we have the 'Crouching Tiger.' Forget just moving pieces around the board; now you'll need to put your manual skills to the test. The tiger acts as a dexterity shooter: you place the component on the table, press down, and launch it toward your opponents. It's that high-tension moment where everyone holds their breath to see if you'll nail the shot or just embarrass yourself.

Then, there's the swarm of 'Hidden Bees.' While the tiger is all about precision, the bees are all about volume and pure mayhem. They come in the form of tiny yellow marbles that you pour into a beehive. The result? An avalanche of little balls rushing through Vul-Kar, spreading chaos across the board, disrupting plans, and shifting the game's momentum in the blink of an eye.

In short, if you already love the base game, this expansion is the spice you need to ensure no one feels too safe. It's fast, intense, and brings that physical element that makes board gaming so much more than just staring at a board. Just a friendly heads-up: clear your table before you start, because with marbles and launchers involved, things are bound to get messy!

## FAQ

### How many players can play?
It follows the base game's capacity, supporting 2 to 4 players.

### Does it make the game more complex?
Strategic complexity doesn't increase much, but the level of 'chaos' and physical interaction goes way up.
