Etymology

"Ras le bol" is a French phrase similar to being "fed up". Both exclamations imply that the speaker can't take any more. Note: this seed name has an exclamation point at the end.

My Review

This seed is the best post-update seed I've found to date. In fact, it's so good that I'm thinking about changing my criterion for awarding the title "premium" to a seed. But sadly, it's not for everyone. This is a very difficult seed with lots of shadows and very difficult terrain. The mountains are epic, there are very few caves to clue you in to where the underground stuff is located, and when you do find something amazing underground it's covered in lava. If you're looking for a serious challenge, look no further: you just found it!
