To the Volcano!! The Downfall of Pompeii
Great game! This is a fun and easy game to play. Played it in my gaming group and we played it 2 times. The first game was really fast, the second volcano card came up early so we did not have much time to get our people on the board to have them escape in time. The second time we played it was way more fun. Trying to stop other players from winning was a lot more strategic. The randomness of the game makes it’s playability endless. Highly recommenced.
Light, fast, exciting game Some games take their inspiration from historical events. You’d think it would be tough to base a game on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Downfall of Pompeii recreates that experience in a light and exciting two-to-four-player game.
