Oh No, Volcano!

About this board game

Oh No, Volcano! is a 2023 game for 2–4 players that plays in about 20 minutes. Race your team of explorers up the face of a volcano, collect ancient treasure, and avoid the lava rolling down around you.

Each turn brings a new danger. Play climber cards to move your explorers higher, then drop a lava ball from the spot shown on the card. The ball rattles and rolls down the volcano, knocking off explorers in its path.

• Move your team up the volcano by playing climber cards.
• Drop lava balls from the locations listed on those cards.
• Watch the rolling lava and protect your explorers when possible.
• Collect all of your ancient treasure before your opponents do.

The lava can affect every explorer it reaches, including your own, so every move requires care. A climb toward valuable treasure may also place your team directly in the path of danger.

In Oh No, Volcano!, the race is not only about moving upward. You must choose your moves carefully, manage the threat created by each lava ball, and find the right opportunities to gather your treasure.

Be the first player to collect all of your treasure and claim victory. With its quick play time, climbing movement, and unpredictable lava hazards, the game turns each turn into a race against both your opponents and the volcano.
