A fun, cutthroat game for 2 to 6 players. It's perfect for families with slightly older kids who understand that when a parent sabotages them in a game, it doesn't mean they don't love them.
Each player owns a village they're trying to protect from lava flowing out of the volcano in the center of the board. Players take turns placing lava tiles to divert the flow away from their own village and steer it toward their opponents' instead.
Action cards add a nice twist, allowing you to manipulate already placed tiles or build barriers against the lava. The game also includes balancing mechanics that keep the gameplay tight, so it's rare for one experienced player to gain an insurmountable lead.
I'm not usually a fan of such mechanics, but here they don't bother me at all. It's a fast-paced game, and almost every session we've played has been tense for everyone right up to the very end.
Pekná škodiaca hra pre 2 až 6 hráčov. Vhodná ja pre rodiny s trošku odrastenými deťmi, ktoré chápu to, že keď im rodič v hre škodí nutne to neznamená, že ich nemá rád.
Každý hráč vlastní jedu z dedín, ktorú sa snaží ochrániť pred lávou vytekajúcou zo sopky v strede hracieho plánu. Hráči postupne prikladajú doštičky s lávou tak aby lávu odklonili od svojej vlastnej dediny a naopak nasmerovali ju na súperove dediny.
Prvkom pekne ovplyvňujúcim hru sú akčné karty, ktoré umožňuje manipuláciu s už vyloženými doštičkami a taktiež možnosť stavať pred lávou rôzne zátarasy. Hra obsahuje aj vyrovnávacie mechanizmy, ktoré vyrovnávajú jej priebeh takže sa len zriedka kedy stane, že jeden skúsený hráč získa nedosiahnuteľnú výhodu.
Nie som veľkým zástancom týchto mechanizmov ale práve v tejto hre mi to vôbec nevadí, pretože sa jedná o svižnú hru a takmer každá jedna naša partia bola napínavá až do úplného konca pre všetkých hráčov.
