Board Setup

The Big Island has 36 hexagonal tiles: 9 across and 5 sea tiles one each side. There is a volcano instead of a desert, and river tiles are optional.

Sugested Terain Setups:

No two of the same resource tiles are adjacent to each other .
Specialty ports should alternate with generic ports.
Specialty ports may not be adjacent to their resource tiles.
Specialty ports are two roads from its associated resource tile.
There are two wool ports, they are on opposite sides of the island.
Resource ID's, segrageate 6s & 8s and distribute values evenly.

OR make your own... disabled

Player Setup

Roll to see who goes first.
Each player is dealt 5 Economic Development cards face down. Players may look at their own hands prior to placing tokens.
Starting with player 1, everyone places 1 settlement (village) on an intersection, then places a road on an adjacent hex edge. If the settlement is a port, players may choose to launch a sloop rather than a road.
Settlements must be at least two road segments apart from any other settlement. Port settlements my choose to build a Sloop instead of a road.
When the last player has placed their first settlement, they get to go first placing a city and its associated road or sloop. Player continue in reverce order until player 1 has placed their second settlement.
Each player starts with 1 resource card per resorce hex touching the second settlement (City). Volcano settlements received 1 gold. Seashore settlements received 1 fish.

Order of Play

Players may only build and trade with others during their own turn.

Starting with the first player, resume clockwise rotation of turns.

Only one development card can be played per turn, before or after the roll.

A development card may be played imediately upon drawing it.

All trading and building are done after the roll.

THE ROLE - On yourn turn roll two dice to determine the following events:

	3 thru 11 = Harvest
	All players who have a settlement on a tile with the number rolled, get a resource card for that tile's resource type. 1 card per settlement 2 cards per City. 3 cards per Capital. On your turn, the player to your right is responsible for distributing cards. Generally this is group-service, players help and hand cards to each other, please make sure everyone is good before you continue.

	2 or 12 = Kaboom, a Pyroclastic Event
	Player rolls one die to determine direction to move the volcanic hotspot. more Any settlements on the edge of the new hotspot are (destroyed) flipped over. All roads, Bridges and Sloops on the edge of the new hotspot are (destroyed) returned to their owner. All fish cards held by all players are donated to players in need of disaster relief.

	7 = Robber and Fish
	When a 7 is rolled, any player with more than 7 cards must forfeit half of them, rounding down, (e.g.: a player holding 11 cards, must give up 5 of them) The player who rolled the 7 must move the robber to a new terrestrial hex-tile, and then blindly take a resource from a player's hand who has a settlement on that hex-tile. If the player has a played any captain as a leadership card, they may opt to place the robber on a port hex tile, taking a card from its owner and shutting it down.
	After the robber is done stealing, all players may claim fish cards. 1 fish per sea hex with a seaside settlement. 1 fish for every sailing vessel and bridge fun fish facts
A player ends their turn by passing the dice.
	Winning X Victory Points, who may only declare victory at the end of their turn. We suggest playing to21 VPs (or 16 VPs for a practice game) Keep in mind that this game takes about 2 hours and requires at least one intermission--go for a walk or sleep on it.

Pyroclastic Rules

Fair
Play

Before beginning, players should come to consensus on the following variants which (Like free parking) will tweak the game mechanics and affect duration of play.
Disputes and reparations for player error, and perceived flaws in game mechanics may be resolved by uninterested players.
Changes to rules mid-game must be approved by consensus.

Jump Start

Players are dealt out 5 Economic Development cards each before rolling to see who goes first.
The first settlement placed is a Village.
The second settlement placed is a city.
Players start with resources cards from their second starting settlement (1 card per hex).
Every player gets a free bonus Sloop, this must be placed at the port sea-hex closest to one of their settlements.
The 2 and 12 Hex-ID tokens are now 3 and 11 respectively, 2/12 is always for the volcano.

Trade Pacts	You may only trade on your own turn, or with the person whose turn it is. In addition to resource cards, players may trade anything; buildings, boats, roads, cards, even shallow promises. Players may make any agreements between themselves but cannot be held to them. Only one player can win but messing with others has its own rewards.
Bank Panic	If a player earns a resource card that is not available from the bank, they may choose to invoke the robber as if a 7 had been rolled. If the resource is still not available, then they get nothing.

Special Resource Cards

Fish

Catch and release!

When a 7 is rolled, and the robber is done stealing, all players recieve 1 fish card for each seaside selltement, bridge, and boat.
Fish is food, but it can stink. Before any roll, any player may discard any fish. from their hand. Its a calculated risk, padding you hand with fish frustraits your attackers, but it might give you more than 7 cards.
You can not buy gold with fish.

Gold

Players with a settlement on lava receive gold resource cards.
Gold may be exchanged 1:1 for any other resources.
Gold may be exchanged 1:4 to buy fish.
Gold may be purchased 4:1 at generic ports (4 of a kind)
You can not buy gold with fish.

Economic Development Cards
	Stimulus Cards Will improve infrastructure, spur economic growth, and can seriously mess with other players.

	Leadership Cards Each leader has special abilities and are worth 1/4 VPs each

Tactical Pyroclastic Action
	Cannons Warships & Fortifications may fire cannons at targets.
	Each shot costs 1 ore card, and must be paid for prior to rolling, or the attacking ship or keep is destroyed.
Rules of Engagement Call your shot before rolling the dice. If the target is undefended, continue firing until you win, or run out of ore. If the target is defended, the attacker gets the first two shots per cannon, (Roll twice) before receiving counter fire. Players alternate shooting until the event is resolved. After the first shot, all cannons on the board may come into play. Note:that Flagships and Castles have two cannons and both fire simultaneously, unless called otherwise. So, a first strike will roll two dice twice (4 shots), then after that, one roll (2 shots) per mele round. If the attacker has only one ore card, they may fire only one shot. No ore, no boom.

A HIT is a roll (> or = ) on the table below.

Roads and Bridges must be fully within the zone to be hit,
Sloops, Roads, Bridges, and Keeps are DESTROYED when hit.
Capitals, Cities, Palaces, Castles, Frigates and Flagships are DEMOTED.
Schooners and Villages are DEFEATED.
Defeated Schooners can be CAPTURED with 1 food-card, or they are sunk.
Defeated Villages can be CAPTURED with 2 food-cards, or they are flipped in Phoenix mode.

Firing Radius:

Distance Target	Same Hex	Zone One	Zone Two
Sloop	2	4	6
Schooner	3	5	6
Frigate	4	5	6

The Phoenix Factor
A flipped settlement defeated by cannon fire (or regular powder keg) that is not settled by an opponent after 3 full rounds is reborn as a Village, and returns to previous owner, unless a new settlement has been built on or next to it.

Powder Kegs

The first powder keg you encounter will probably be in the form of a development card being played,(keg token) then deployed along with a leadership card, you may also may purchase a Powder Keg and deploy it with a leadership card:

Play a Knight to plant a bomb anywhere on land except a port.
Play a Captain to plant a bomb at any port.
Play a Pirate to plant a bomb at any port or any ship at sea.

Build your own Standard 1MK Powder Keg
Cost: 4 wood, 1 ore, and 2 gold cards

Hex Center Blast Zone
Targeting Fortifications

Intersection Blast Zone
Targeting Roads & Settlements

All roads & sloops within the blast radius are returned to their owners.

All structures in target area are degraded 1 level (e.g.; city to village/ frigate to Sloop). Settlements are flipped over and must be rebuilt.

Anyone may build on, or near this site as if unsettled.

The original owner may rebuild without reconnecting roads.

A Powder Keg dropped in the volcano will trigger 2 consecutive eruptions.

1:6 chance of opening a volcanic hotspot.

	Ultra 10 MK Kegs Why not Super-size for a bit more?
A Ultra 10 MK Keg dropped in the volcano will trigger 4 consecutive eruptions. 1:3 chance of opening a volcanic hotspot.
Hex Center Blast Zone Tactical Infrastructure		Intersection Blast Zone Civilian Infrastructure

Cost: 5 wood, 2 ore, and 2 gold cards

Scuttling

Players may sink OR destroy their own property.
Removal costs 2X the cost of building, or last upgrade.
Sinking is free.

Mutiny

Ships of war that cannot be maintain the by the end of your turn must flipped, indicating distress.
Any player may capture it by playing a pirate card, or by sailing into the same hex and feeding the crew.
If the ship is in port, that settlement owner may also seize the crew by feeding it on their turn.

Piracy

If you play a pirate card, yor're a pirate. Otherwise, any player that suffers a pyroclastic loss, can no longer develop inland, or clearly has no hope of winning, may declare themselves a pirate by yelling, "Arr!"

Transition to Pirate

Every road is removed and becomes a Sloop.
Every inland Village becomes a Sloop, coastal settlements and ports may be kept as such or converted.
Cities become Schooners, Keeps become Frigates, and a Capitals or a Castle may become a Flag Ship, but no more than one.
All new ships are moved to closest available sea hex.
At no time may a regular player have more than 8 Sloops, 4 Schooners, 2 Frigates, and 1 Flagship. Pirates have no such rules.

Conducting Pirate Business

All regular knight cards played from now will now behave as pirate cards but may still be blocked as knights.
Pirates may settle or seize port settlements but cannot build further in-land.
Pirates may not hold the Longest Road.
Pirates may continue to say pirate things like; Arr, Swab, Me-Bucko, and Avast, etc. until told to stop.

Ships of war that cannot be maintained are subject to mutiny.

Volcano

The volcano is activated by a dice roll of a 2 or 12.
The robber is sent far out to sea.
All sailing vessels are moved out of ports.
A single die is rolled to determine the direction (1-6) of the lava flow.
The hotspot tile is moved in that direction, covering it with lava.
The Resource ID for the lava hex tile stays the same, the resource is now gold. to the volcano's prior active position.
Flow example:
1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.

Any roads and settlements touching new lava are destroyed.
Roads are returned to their owners.
Settlements are reduced to rubble (flipped over) the owner may rebuild without a connecting road.
Any player may now build on, or near this location.
Food Aid, all unaffected players must donate their fish to pyroclastic victims
When not exploding, volcano tiles act as resource tiles for gold, for those who dare.

Strategic Thoughts:

It is always worth buying a development card, but is now the right time?

Playing a knight is like a mini embargo or sanction, target them well.

Consider the Wood/Brick path to road building, settlement expansion, and Longest Road.

Consider the Wheat/Wool/Ore path, for development cards, Largest Army and Good Shepard.

Consider fish your friends, ports and ships are a path to piracy.

There is a 5% chance of Kaboom each roll, then, a 1 in 3 chance of it killing you.

Experience suggests that volcano only erupts 2 to 3 times per game, but you never know.

Once the Volcano has flowed a bit, look for 8s 6s on a lava hex for easy gold.

Consider a port as a starting settlement for immediate trade.

Consider a port as a starting settlement to build Sloops towards another port.

Consider purchasing a powder keg and displaying it as a deterrent.

You can use a powder keg on your own Castle to remove approaching roads.

So far, there is no rule against building a Bridge without a river...hmmm.

If women cannot be knights, they can't be blocked as such.

All pirates and nautical knights are captains or of higher naval rank.

Jesters count as royal leadership cards.

A port with 2 Sloops, is 4 fish every time a 7 is rolled, and can be traded for anything.

If you have 7 good cards and couple of fish, you can drop the fish before any roll to avoid the robber.

If you have 7 cards and a bunch of fish, save to fish to give to the robber.

Rob from the rich, unless someone is building nearby.

Fair trade builds good will.

Minor territory agreements at start great for both players.

If you can't win, take someone else down with you.

It's only a game.
