After eons of tranquility, the mighty volcano stirs from its long, peaceful slumber. Now, it must release pent-up energy as it has so often in the past; by expelling ash and lava. Thus, the natural cycle begins anew.
Unfortunately for the human settlements that have thrived in harmony with their dormant neighbor, this balance is about to be disrupted. A safe new home is needed, but fortunately, their brave explorers
have just returned from a long journey, having discovered a fertile new island.

Now, the leaders of the settlements must set aside their differences and unite their efforts to safely evacuate their people, animals, and resources to the new lands before the volcano reclaims its dominance
and enriches the soil with its fertile ash.

The challenge is to see whether the humans can complete their evacuation or if the volcano will regain control of the island. Which side will prevail in the end?

Eldur is a cooperative game for 2–4 players, ages 8 and up. Players must work together to evacuate the island before the active volcano takes control.

There are 4 helpers that players cooperatively activate to fulfil the task; the Gatherer seeks goods, the Herder searches the mountains and hidden valleys for sheep and the Seeker looks for lost families. All of them are safely transferred to the harbours where the Knerrir sails them to safety on the newly discovered island.

However, the volcano is unpredictable; no one knows where the lava will flow. Ash falls, cracks, or new fissures may open at any time, making no place safe. The challenge is to see whether the humans can complete their evacuation or if the volcano will regain control of the island.

Which side will prevail in the end?
