	Description Edit \| History

Hekla is an abstract game, nominally about erupting volcanoes. Players place and move stones representing various sizes of volcanoes on the board, attempting to create scoring formations. Scoring creates lava, and once all the lava has been placed the game ends. In an interesting twist, alignment of your scoring piece on the scoring track with your pieces on the main board allows you to make a special move.
