Ship Expansion

Contents

8 Ships (in 4 different colors).

Setup

Each player takes the 2 Ships according to his, or her building color.

Gameplay

Instead of placing a building, a player can place a Ship according to the following rules:

  • To play a Ship, it must be put into a Lagoon. The Lagoon must be adjacent to a settlement of his color.
  • A Volcano tile can never cover a Ship.
  • You may only have one Ship per Lagoon.
  • You may never place a Volcano tile into a Lagoon that already contains a ship, regardless of the Lagoon's size.
  • A Ship is not part of a Settlement. It is not taken into account to expand a Settlement or build a Temple or a Tower (see Phase 2).

Note: the source prints "Phase 2" here; the base rulebook calls the same step "Step 2: Place one or more building pieces".

Lagoon

A Lagoon is a zone that is entirely surrounded by fields and volcanoes from the island of level 1.

Not Allowed

Two examples are shown in the source under the heading "NOT ALLOWED", each captioned "An open zone is not considered as a Lagoon."

End of the Game

  • When a player succeeds in building two different types of buildings out of the four, he wins immediately.
  • Or, the game ends if the Volcano tiles have all been placed (see the basic rules to define the winner).
  • If there is a tie, the winner is decided between the following way:

The tie-break is shown as a row of four piece icons, in this order: Temple, then Tower, then Hut, then Ship. (Each icon is shown as a piece and is not labelled in the source; the order is read from the pictures.)

Double-Hex Tiles Expansion

Contents

5 Double-Hex tiles: Volcano-Lake, Volcano-Jungle, Volcano-Sand, Volcano-Volcano, Jungle-Jungle.

Setup

Shuffle together the Double-Hex tiles. Take as many Double-Hex tiles as there are players and put them faceup next to the 48 Volcano tiles. Put aside the non-used tiles.

Gameplay

  • Each round, instead of picking a Volcano tile, a player can choose any Double-Hex tile.
  • This move is possible only once per game.

Exception: A player can use a second Double-Hex tile if there are no more Volcano tiles.

Be Aware

  • The Double-Hex tile that has no Volcano (Jungle-Jungle) can only be placed at level 1.
  • If the Volcano-Volcano tile is placed at level 2 (or higher), 1 of the 2 Volcanoes must cover a volcano already put in game according to the set-up rules (see covering rules).

End of the Game

(see basic rules). The game ends if the Volcano tiles and the Double-Hex tiles are used up (see the basic rules to define who is the winner).

Game Board Expansion

Contents

1 double-sided game board.

The board is labelled Beginner, Intermediate (2 options areas) and Expert.

Setup

Before beginning the game, you must define on what zone the game is going to be played: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.

Gameplay

During the game, the player that plays a tile must respect the following overtaking rules:

  • A tile cannot overhang the game zone with more than 2 corners.
  • If a tile overtakes the game zone with more than 2 corners, the player must find another place to play it.
  • If a player cannot put his, or her tile because the latter systematically overtakes the game zone then they cannot create a volcanic eruption, and the game ends.

The source shows two diagrams: "ALLOWED" with a tile that is "2 corners out", and "NOT ALLOWED" with a tile that is "more than 2 corners out".

End of the Game

(see basic rules).

The game ends if the Volcano tiles and the Double-Hex tiles are used up (see the basic rules to define who is the winner). The game ends if one player cannot play his, or her tiles without breaking the overtaking rules.

5th Player Expansion

Contents

27 Black Buildings, 12 Volcano Tiles.

Gameplay

Same as basic rules.
