Game overview

Nisyros is a volcanic island in the Egeic sea, to the south of

Kos. The biggest volcano on Nisyros is called Stephanos and

is still active, without being really dangerous. The latest small

eruption took place in 1956, at that time the inhabitants were

evacuated as a precaution.

In this game, a series of big eruptions will completely cover the

island with lava. The inhabitants need to ee from Nisyros to

Kos by building boats. They can slow down the ow of lava by

building dams. However, with a new eruption in this direction

the dams will break and the lava will continue owing down.

At the beginning of the game, each player has two workers

and eight citizens. The workers recognize the danger and

immediately start working. The citizens are still unaware of the

threat, but can be summoned to join the workers during the

game.

The workers need wood for building boats and stone for

building dams. Wheat is grown to feed all the workers. These

three resources can be harvested on the volcano slopes. The

upper elds bring the highest yield, but these will soon be

covered with lava. When an area is overowing and workers

are present, they will try to escape. If they fail, they will go to

Hades, the realm of the dead.

Apart from the unpredictable volcano, in each round of play

there will be 1, 2 or 3 events that can be either positive or

negative. Five action dice can double the yield of the areas, but

sometimes cause extra eruptions.

Will we succeed in bringing the inhabitants safely to Kos before

Nisyros is completely covered with lava?

Contents

4 volcano parts (circles)

4 sea parts (puzzle pieces)

4 coastal areas with villages and workplaces

16 resource areas (stone, wood, wheat)

40 inhabitants (wooden play gures) in 4 colours

3 resource charts for stone, wood and wheat

3 ring-shaped markers for the 3 resources

4 bonus resources (2x stone, 1x wood, 1x wheat)

32 boats

32 dams

26 event cards

1 red event die

5 yellow action dice

1 black volcano die

1 sheet with die stickers

1 game ow marker (oval shaped ring)

Preparation for the first game

• Put the stickers on the 7 dice as indicated on the sticker sheet.

Take care, every die is dierent! Also check the correct die

colours.

• Glue the 4 round vulkano parts together by joining the letters

A-A / B-B / C-C. This creates the volcano base with the crater in

the middle.

Setting up (see the game setup at the backside of this

booklet)

• Puzzle the 4 sea parts together and put the volcano base in the

center.

• Put down the 20 areas. Start with a ring consisting of the

4 largest pieces, the coastal areas, then place the smaller

and smaller rings of 4 resource areas each. Lay them down

randomly, so that each game will have a unique setup. Take care

that you construct a game board consisting of 4 quarters, the

zones of the game.

• The upper 4 resource areas (directly around the volcano crater)

receive a bonus resource marker.

• There are 4 villages: Mandraki, Pali, Emporios and Nikia. Each

player chooses a village and places 8 inhabitants of its colour on

the village: the citizens. Two inhabitants start as worker, put

these on the meeting place (theater) next to the village.

• Divide the 3 resource charts between the players. If one player

wants to manage all three of them, this is OK as well.

• Indicate the resource amounts with the ring shaped markers.

The team receives a stock of 3 wheat per player, thus depending

on the number of players 6, 9 or 12 wheat. Wood and stone

start at zero.

• Put the boats and dams within reach next to the board.

• Select the 10 event cards with a star symbol in the upper left

corner. Shue them well and set aside 5 of them. Shue the

other 5, together with the event cards without a star and pile

these up next to the game board. Then put the 5 cards that were

set aside on top of the pile.

• The starting player receives the 7 dice. This could be the one

who recently returned safely from a Mediterranean holiday.

• Place the game ow marker on step 1 of the overview on the

game board.

Choosing the game level

Together, select a game level:

Achilles: each inhabitant needs a boat to escape and in every

round of play 2 eruptions will occur.

Heracles: each inhabitant needs 1 wheat to escape with a boat;

still 2 eruptions per round of play.

Zeus: each inhabitant needs 1 wheat to escape with a boat and

there will be 3 eruptions per round of play.

Game flow

The active player follows the 10 steps of the game ow that are

depicted on the overview on the game board. He or she will also

throw dice for the whole team and makes decisions for the team

in case the players cannot easily decide together. Players with

resource tables keep tracking the increase or decrease of their

resource. Of course, all players perform the actions of their own

inhabitants, usually they can do this simultaneously.

co-operative strategy game

2 to 4 players • ages 12 and up • duration of play about 50 min
