About the game
Fireball Island is, once again, teeming with adventure, treasure, and - you guessed it - fireballs! Make your way up the mountain to grab Vul-Kar's Heart, then get off the island before the other adventurers can steal it from you. Along the way, you'll cross bridges, collect treasure, cause earthquakes, rain down fire, and more in this classic game remake. Note: This is a new, smaller, Target-exclusive, streamlined-by-subtraction version of Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar. The island is smaller, the box is smaller, the cards, side-quests, treasures, and others have been eliminated to make the game simpler and skew towards a younger audience. —description from the publisher
