A visitor races through Fireball Island as Vul-Kar erupts and a fiery creature chases, capturing the thrill of the iconic board game’s adventure; signage promotes “Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar”—a reimagined classic from the 1980s—now on Kickstarter.

Any 80s kid worth his or her salt had the amazing Indiana Jones-inspired three-dimensional board game “Fireball Island,” which pit up to four adventurers against a giant evil lava-spewing idol in their quest to capture the titular island’s treasure. Now independent board game company Restoration Games has revived the white-knuckle classic with a new design and expansions for backers of its Kickstarter campaign.

Almost immediately after launching this morning, the crowdfunding effort for “Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar” surpassed its $250,000 goal– and as of this writing there’s still thirty days left to go if you want to get your pledge in.

Kickstarter rewards at various levels include the base game and four expansions. “Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar” is expected to ship to backers in November, 2018, with the game likely becoming available through retailers soon afterward.

Fireball Island unfolds like a tabletop adventure park, featuring the vibrant island board, iconic game box, energetic player tokens, and all key attractions that fans remember from the classic 1980s experience—now revived through crowdfunded support for a new generation of thrill-seekers.

The legendary demon-faced temple of Fireball Island rises dramatically atop a mist-shrouded peak, glowing ominously as the sun sets behind it. Palm trees border the scene, enhancing the thrill and adventure reminiscent of vintage 1980s board game attractions—inviting visitors to step into an immersive world of peril and excitement straight from the iconic island itself.
