Description

Tip Toe Volcano is a game about betting, bluffing...and not stepping in any lava. Each round, you’ll secretly hide your traps before putting the map together. After that, it’s an all-out bidding war to see who can tip-toe the furthest around the volcano — without getting burned.

Instructions.

Gameplay takes place over a series of rounds. At the start of each round, players must set their lava traps.

Out of sight of the other players, take your cluster of Blinks in setup mode and single click any number of them to activate (or de-activate) a lava trap. Lava traps look like 2 red faces rotating around the Blink, while non-trap pieces are 2 green faces rotating. Make sure to remember where you place your traps!

Once satisfied with your trap placement, double click any Blink in your cluster to hide your lava traps under a beautiful green grassy hill.

With the traps hidden, all the players connect their Blinks back together into one mega cluster. The oldest player starts by betting how many Blinks they can click without hitting any Lava Traps (e.g. “I think I can click two Blinks without hitting any lava”).

The player on their left must now either raise or challenge. If they raise, they must bet a higher number (e.g. 3 Blinks or more). But if they challenge, the previous player must carry out their bet to see if they can do it. They must start by single clicking one of their own Blinks. After that, they can click any Blinks they like.

If the player that has been challenged fails to click all the Blinks wagered without touching lava, the Volcano will erupt, spraying ash everywhere and covering the hill with lava. A new round now begins, but the player who lost the challenge will have one Blink removed from their cluster (e.g. if last round they had 4 Blinks, this round they will have 3). However, if the player successfully completed the challenge and didn’t set off the Volcano, in the next round the player that challenged them will lose a Blink.
