FIREBALL ISLAND TUTORIAL WITH EXPANSIONS IN ~10 MINUTES!

[@JBearwa]

Thanks for the review! If you look on boardgame geek many agree that the honey pots are broken, so there is a couple rule modifications so it’s harder for one person to grab all of the honeybee pot worth six points each. From the Board Game Geek forums is the fix for the broken honeypots being so close together and over powered points wise. 1. Put a honey pot next to each region. 2. Place a honey pot on an empty treasure space within the corresponding region each time you add a marble to the Scar. 3. Otherwise play normally. Plus: Balancing the Honey Pots is simple, if you jump over somebody you can steal one honey pot. Why not? It is just an item like the Main Jewel. However just like originally done if you steal the honey pot you get stung! Much like the Heart of Vul-Kar, the hunny pots are larger than something that would fit in your pocket which would be the tokens. So they can get easily stolen when jumped over by passing a player. They don’t steal everything from the player only one item ( your choice on this ). Also I love the thematic suggestion that every time a pot is stolen and/or definitely every time the honey pot is originally taken the bees get poured out and the new owner gets stung. Optional make the honeybee pots worth five points instead of six. As far as the Tiger goes some people played that you can reshoot the tiger until you get it landed on the board or 3 tries. House rules.

Great video. We own and love this game, but watched your video anyway just because your work is always so gorgeous and this game lends itself to fantastic shots like on the beach. Well, maybe that idea isn't great, but you get the idea

[@TimChuon]

absolutely thrilled to hear that Kernel! Thank you so much; it's definitely a fantastic game that really falls into the beach theme quite nicely! hahah i love the idea....minus losing pieces to the waves! 😅

When you launched the ember marble you did it from Vulkar, but I thought you push it from it's current location?

[@TimChuon]

Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct; you push the ember marble from its designated locations and only launch the fireball marbles (from cataclysm) in Vul-Kar-i'll add that to the description box!

The side cardboard pieces should go underneath the middle plastic board, providing rigidity :-)

Awesome Tutorial! Ik this is a bit late but you should make an updated version if you have the spider springs

[@TimChuon]

Please Go in depth with the injury cards and the treasure trove where should they be shuffled into? When would I use an injury card?

[@TimChuon]

Sorry for the late response! I just figured out why I'm not getting notifications more often! For the injury cards, all you do is shuffle them as their own deck at the beginning of the game. You use them when you have to lose one or more treasure- let's say you get hit by a fireball and normally you would lose treasure. With the injury cards, you now have the choice of drawing one instead. Think of them as added weight, the more you get, the harder it'll be for you to navigate/play on the island! Treasure trove itself is a mini expansion of 3 sets of cards. The first one is Hangry Souvenirs, which are cards added to the souvenir deck to help you interfere with other player's choices. Legendary Souvenirs are probably the coolest ones-these have really strong, one-time effects that help you, such as gaining massive points and recover (Club of Heracles is worth 8 points in response to getting hit by the Tiger).

My player characters are not painted nicely like yours as mine is from the kick starter. Did you paint your characters yourself?

[@TimChuon]

Ah I'm sorry! I actually received these straight from the kickstarter; if I painted them, they'd look like Grimers

[@XmasReaper_4414]

You're able to buy 5 already painted figurines, mine came like yours, I've been able to find the figurines though that are colored.

Good job! I like the game so far. I always play with Last Adv and Tiger Bees and Treasure Trove. I don't have Crimson Cutlass but may get it later. This is the first vid I've seen of it in action. Thank for showing some cards. oh man you lost some components!

[@TimChuon]

Thank you so much! I'm not sure how I feel about the treasure trove cards yet but the others are really fun! It does take a bit of practice to launch the tiger in the right direction. Crimson Cutlass was definitely my favorite though-before i lost the pieces- because it changes so much of the game with extra turns, different strategies for stealing, and of course the modular components! If you do end up liking crimson cutlass, consider using the link I put in the description; it'd really help me out!

Each time we open the pirate ship Boz we say...ehh..let's stick with the bees again... There's enough already ffor now

You talk too fast sometimes and mash words
