About the game

What is Emberleaf?

Emberleaf is a competitive card-dancing and tile-placement board game. As a brave Emberling, your mission is to rebuild your home in the heart of an ancient forest. To succeed, you'll explore the wilderness, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and construct new homes for your kin. Along the way, you'll recruit heroes into your fellowship, each bringing unique skills that will help empower your team. But beware - space in the forest is limited, and other Emberlings have their own plans. The game features: Card Dancing: Place hero cards within your moving grid to activate skills and enhance your fellowship. Slide cards to trigger powerful combinations and charge them at the perfect moment for even greater effects. Tile Placement: Build vibrant villages to address the diverse needs of your villagers. Engine Building: Recruit heroes to acquire new skills and empower your existing fellowship. Resource Management: Navigate the forest, clear dangerous areas, and collect essential resources. Every decision you make shapes the destiny of your people. Can you rise to the challenge, guide your village to prosperity, and win the heart of your fellow Emberlings? —description from the publisher
