It’s another blast from the past for Restoration Games as they announce an updated version of the 1986 Milton Bradley classic Fireball Island.
The new version, to be called Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar picks up where the original game left off. In the original game, players raced up the island volcano trying to steal a priceless gem from Vul-Kar and escape, avoiding the red marbles that would emerge from Vul-Kar’s mouth, threatening to wipe out their playing piece. Set on the same island 30 years later, the new edition challenges players with a dark curse from the angered Vul-Kar, as well as new adventures and dangers.
The new edition has been updated by Rob Daviau (Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, Seafall), J.R. Honeycutt (Seafall), and Justin D. Jacobson (Downforce, Stop Thief!) and features a new island design by Noah Adelman of Game Trayz. The game is being produced in partnership with Longshore, Ltd., which will retain non-English distribution, under license from Lund and Company Invention, LLC. Restoration Games plans to fund the project with a future Kickstarter campaign.
Restoration Games just premiered it’s first efforts to modernize classic games at Gen Con, including a new version of Parker Brother’s Stop Thief (see "Classic Whodunit Board Game 'Stop Thief' Returns").
