Restoration Games Releases Fireball Island Expansions
Both are set for release this week, one includes a new island to explore and the other introduces new threats to the island you already know. "The crouching tiger introduces a dexterity shot. Place it on the table next to the board, press down, and launch it towards your foes. The hidden bees make up for their smaller size with their swarming numbers. Put all the little yellow marbles into the beehive, pour them through Vul-Kar, and watch the mayhem ensue."

Reviews
Slap It (Everything Board Games): “A good fit for groups who enjoy speedy card games such as Dutch Blitz or Spit. The charming monsters also make it a hit with families and kids.”

Show & Tile (Pawn’s Perspective): “Provides players ample opportunities to show off their impressive skills, and allows for moments of “That was supposed to be an elephant?!” and “How did you possibly get that was a robot?!” Its easy accessibility, quick playtime, and allowance for creativity mean it should be a go-to party game for the long run.”

Forbidden Sky (Board Game Quest): “Fine for countdown loving co-op players, not so much for anyone looking for something new.”
