Volcano

The Volcano is one of the most expensive Expansion components in the Gravitrax world. It is similar to the Launch Pad, but can be placed in the middle of a marble run.

Function
The Volcano piece consists of a triangular structure, similar to its namesake, in the center of a tile with 4 openings surrounding it. 1-3 marbles can be placed in this center section. When a button is pressed, either by a human or by another marble, the center pops up and launches any marbles on it in their respective directions. It is best, however, to have 2 or 3 marbles launched, as when it launches a single marble, it often comes out slow and inaccurately.

If a fourth marble is placed on top of the others, the Volcano will still function successfully. The top marble will follow one of the other three marbles at random.

This component must be reset between every usage by simply pushing the platform down to its lower position and replacing the marbles on top of it.

Obtaining
Like most Expansions, the Volcano can only be obtained in one set - the Volcano Expansion set.
