Introduction

Isla Volcan is the story of adventurers, scientists, and a virgin sacrifice who must prevent the island gods from completing volcano a dark ritual. Once the island gods hurl the sacrifice into the volcano, the ritual is complete and the island-- and everything on it-- will go down in flames!

Gameplay Overview

As a team, you are tasked with locating up to four island relics to help you defeat the evil god of the island. You have a limited amount of time to locate the relics and defeat the boss.

At the end of each round, the volcano tracker moves one space. If the track hits the target space (space 10 for 4 players, space 15 for 3 players, space 20 for 2 players), the game is over.

At the end of each round, every area that is occupied by a player or group of players will receive an encounter card.

When ready to face the island god, see God Showdown.

At the end of the round, pass the first player token.

Setup

1. Shuffle boss deck and place on Boss Deck space.
2. Start the Boss with 1 hit point per player.
3. Shuffle and place item deck and place on Item Deck space.
4. Place Relics on the board.
5. Shuffle and place tokens facedown on each area of the map except for the volcano.
6. Shuffle encounter deck and place on Encounter Deck space.

Player Turn

Each turn, each player can perform one action:

• Move / Trade Item
• Search

Moving - Each player can move to one adjacent area.

Trade Item - Players can trade items and relics to any in the same area.

Search - A player can reveal a token if there is one in their area. If they reveal a relic, they may collect the matching relic. Alternatively to flipping over a token, a player may search for an item. Roll a die and if they roll an item logo (2, 4, and 6 on a six sided die), then they may take the top card from the item deck. There is no limit to the number of items a player may have.

Encounters

End of each round, draw an encounter card until it matches the area you are in. Beach needs a Beach encounter, Mountain needs a Mountain encounter, and so on.

The players in that area resolve the encounter as a group each making any checks the encounter requires. Unless specified on the card, a single success is all that is needed for a group to pass the encounter.

If the encounter is failed, add one hit point to the final Boss.

There should only be one encounter for a given area in one turn. Each player in the area participates.

Each encounter will have a skill challenge to complete. Based on the option you choose, determine the difficulty of the challenge.

Showdown with the Island God

Once your team feels they are ready to battle the island god, they enter the volcano. Any number of players can start the battle with the god but a player with a relic or item must be in the volcano for the item to be used.

Each round, a boss card is revealed. Any player holding one of the relics specified on the card may make the check specified to attempt to disrupt the ritual. Each success removes a hit point from the boss hit point track. If no one succeeds, then the ritual completes one stage. Once three stages are complete, the ritual completes and the volcano erupts. The players lose!

If the last hit point is removed, the ritual is defeated and the players win!
