Emberleaf

Rebuild your forest village by skillfully sliding hero cards, gathering resources, clearing dangers, and outpacing rival Emberlings for glory.

Premise

Players assume the role of Emberlings aiming to restore their devastated woodland home. Move hero cards in a dynamic grid to activate abilities, recruit new allies, gather resources, clear hazards, and build vibrant homes for villagers. Every slide and placement matters as you balance engine building with competitive tile placement. Strategic timing and spatial finesse determine who earns the favour of the forest folk.

Highlights

  • Card-dancing mechanic adds rhythm-like movement to hero placement and combo activation

  • Tile placement and modular board encourage spatial strategy as you construct homes in limited forest space

  • Engine building through hero recruitment rewards evolving strategies and synergy between unique abilities

  • Competitive decision-making where every choice impacts your path and pressures your opponents
