About the Game

In A Lava Story, you take on the role of a young volcano with a dream: you want to become the world's most visited tourist site.

Use tectonic plate movements to gain lands and increase your volcanic activity, let volcanic ash rain on land to make it fruitful, grow plants and lure in animals to make beautiful national parks. Or rely on rough natural beauty, raise mountains and rivers, geysers or hot springs. Whatever you do, try not to erupt once you have lured in all the tourists or you might scare them away again.

In this bag building, push-your luck, tie-laying game for 1-6 players you have to keep track of your volcanic activity as well as of your islands beauty. You play through 4 eras of eruptions and if your island features the right tiles, you'll get many rewards. After 45-60 minutes, the last era will be over and players will get one last chance to bring tourists to their island.
