'''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. |

> This is a puzzle game inspired by the spewing eruptions of volcanoes. 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. |

== Goal == |
|||
Follow the [http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kristin/Games/Volcano.html Rules to Volcano] except for the following: |
|||
Capture 3 monochrome Trios, or 5 mixed-color Trios. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
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) |
|||
* Page 60 of the [[Pyramid Arcade rulebook]] |
|||
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 |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
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. |
