    “Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be ‘follow the butterflies?’” Alongside the snakes and the bees, Spider Springs is the best of the three Fireball Island expansions. While the snakes are confined simply to the left side of the island, the bees get poured into Vul-Kar only with action cards, and the tiger and boulder rarely hit anything, the spiders (once they finally get into play) start creeping all over the whole island. They never reset so they are constantly crawling down paths and cutes to get in your way. In a 2-player game the peninsula is almost a necessity. Without it you could just send one explorer to the left-side and one explorer right-side to quickly divide the island’s treasures. Now that there’s a left, right, and backside to the island, it makes for more interesting strategy because you can’t possibly go for everything with your two characters.

    A new area with some goodies and traps. The broken bridge is too large (at least in my copy) and will not let marbles go past it. The game area is getting too big for only five players.

    Fireball Island: Spider Springs has eight legs, crawling everywhere you go, accompanying, making fun. And that's exactly, what you'd expect from an expansion to such a crazy adventure as is Fireball Island. You get a guaranteed addition of fun, which adds more danger to the game, chance of loss of points, but also the opportunity to steal treasure from opponents. Larger map is useful because it does not negatively affect the overall experience. Spider Springs is a quality extension for the game we recommend to any adventurer.

Fireball Island just got a whole lot bigger. There’s just one problem: It’s covered with spiders, and they have a nasty habit of "popping up" all over the place. Use the caves to get to the peninsula. Navigate the chasm to scoop up valuable spider eggs. Stop for a snapshot on the scenic bridge. But watch out! When Vul-Kar starts rumbling, the spiders start jumping!

This expansion adds a new location to explore, a new kind of treasure to collect and a new hazard: spiders! Spiders are worth negative points at the end of the game. In the center of the chasm is a spring-loaded "spider launcher". Marbles can trigger the launcher, sending spiders around the chasm or into a crevasse, where they can make their way onto the main island. You’ll even send spiders through Vul-Kar with the new Arachnoclysm action card. It even offers a new way to get off the island via a secret submarine.
