Trigger pieces, called caps, are freely moved around the mountaintops until an eruption occurs. Up to 3 pieces will be moved onto other stacks, and pieces that land on others of the same size are captured. ~~''Caldera redirects here. For other Volcano and Caldera variants, see [[Volcano (variants)]]''~~ ~~'''Volcano''' is a that uses 6 [[Treehouse set]]s worth of pieces.~~ Also known as Fiesta Caldera, Looney Labs (in the Pyramid Arcade instruction guide) decided to reclaim the name of the original [[Volcano (variants)\|Volcano]], technically making this Volcano 3.0. == ~~Variant~~Goal ==▼ Capture 3 monochrome Trios, or 5 mixed-color Trios. == Rules == * Page 60 of the [[Pyramid Arcade rulebook]] ~~[http://www.looneylabs.com/rules/caldera Caldera Rules at Looney Labs]~~ ==See also==▼ ~~Follow the [http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kristin/Games/Volcano.html Rules to Volcano] except for the following:~~ * [[Caldera]] * [[Volcano (variants)]]▼ == Links == 1) '''EQUIPMENT & SETUP''' - Instead of 5 monochrome stashes (5 nests of 5 colors which fills up the 25 spaces on a 5x5 board) you have 6 rainbow stashes (6 nests of 4 colors (minus black) which fills 24 spaces on the 5x5 board) - leave the center square empty; you also use 6 caps instead of 5 (see picture) * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DkEXqibk94&index=24&list=PLm3OKhfkyvNYKXnZbnw2fkPjN4cgXv5s1 Sample game on YouTube ] {{pa}} 2) '''END CONDITION''' - instead of the game ending when someone takes all 5 colors, and counting points for the winner - the end condition in Caldera is to collect 3 monochrome trees (and it's okay if 2 or even all 3 are the same color) ~~3) '''POWER PLAY MOVE''' - while you are moving the caps around (at any time before your [[eruption]]) you have the option to place one piece from your captured pieces back on the board~~ ▲== Variant == Instead of four translucent colors with six trios of each; use eight colors with three trios of each. Put the six caps on two different colors. Victory condition remains 3 monochrome trees. This variant plays fine with two, and may be superior to standard Caldera with three or four players. ▲==See also== ▲* [[Volcano (variants)]] [[Category:Turn-based]] [[Category:Perfect information]] [[Category:2-player]] [[Category:3-player]] Line 49 ⟶ 54: [[Category:IceSheets]] [[Category:6HOUSE]] [[Category:Games featured in Pyramid Arcade]]
