   This game is just as fun as I remember it. the restoration games version feels a little flimsy; but it is well worth the pruchase. so many hours of fun already.

   Great game & allot of value for the $. Replayability is pretty high too. Strategy changes each game just enough to be something to pull out & play once a month. & Expandable if you like throwing in new surprises. Also reviews mentioning size is right. It’s a big game. But I still am able to put it away just fine. Just requires some real life gentle Tetris. My son is 5 & can play it too. Just may get board if they play it too often bc of their energy.

   This game is very fun! We ended up ordering all of the expansions for this game to keep the fun going. When we play, we also remove some of the cataclysm cards as we find there are too many and it can end the game fairly quickly

   My son was so excited to get this game as his dad told him so much about the 80’s version. Unfortunately the new version is very expensive – and not really worth it. The board itself is fun – higher and with lots of fireball action, but the game itself has changed and it’s a bit boring… finally the four game pieces are so flimsy it’s actually shocking. They fall over constantly without any jostling.
   

5. Why I Love Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul Kar Verified Buyer – 11 February 2025

   I was skeptical about purchasing this game after reading some negative reviews on the material. I loved this game as a teenager playing with my family. I decided to buy it and long and behold everything about it is awesome. The tweaks to the rules make it a lot of fun and the cardboard box is actually very thick and the game itself is very well-made and durable. Love the look of it and the family had a great time playing. Do not hesitate if you were a fan of this game in the 80s to purchase this.

   Don’t believe all the bad reviews about the game. The game is fun and my kids and I love it, and not only that but it is a huge blast from the past for me as well. Is it the original? Nope. Is it still awesome? Yep. Sure the box is flimsy but lets be real: IT’S A BOX! Who cares??!! These guys gave this game another chance at life and my kids and I usually play 1-2 games every weekend, more during the cold months. The game now has about four expansions and we have them all and love playing it. Most of the complaints are about the box and the plastic being flimsy, to be fair they aren’t super crazy sturdy but it’s a game that is meant to be used and abused, it’s not that big of a deal. Yeah it’s expensive but most people spend more that $70 a month on a bunch of coffee at Starbucks when they could spend it at the store for a fraction of the cost. If you loved the original, get over the first world problems people are complaining about, I’m pretty sure you’ll have fun. I know my kids and I have!

   I was very pleased to see this mid 80s game being remade and available for purchase, especially here on boardgamesweekly.com with Prime shipping. People want hundreds of dollars for used originals out there and there are few to even get your hands on. This remake is packed more efficiently overall, though I admit getting everything back into the box after assembly took some effort the first time.
   The game plays very well with kids that are in the age range listed for the game. We had a fun family game night with it.
   Some of the cardboard pieces need a bit of gentle handling but overall the game quaility is good.
   I reccomend this game for fans of the original as well as anyone looking for a fun gaming experience, especially with kids.

   Not good. Built crappy. Half the board is glossy and half is flat. One half of mine is molded bent so it sits horribly. Would return it if I could. Not worth it.
