The latest news

I am excited to finally be able to reveal Emberleaf, a card-dancing and tile-placement board game for 1-5 players, coming to Kickstarter on September 17.

Follow the Kickstarter to be notified of the launch!

I have been working on Emberleaf for a very long time and I am so thrilled to be able to start sharing the game with you. There are many stories to tell and I will be revealing more about the game in the coming weeks.

Deep in the oldest forest of the world, the Emberlings lie hidden, their presence a secret to all but the wisest. Many moons have passed since Lord Vesh’s armies scorched their groves and destroyed their homes. Today, the forest has healed, and a stirring is felt. Five courageous Emberlings rise from the forest floor, their spirits unbroken. They call out to their kin, urging them to rebuild their homes. Together, they will reclaim their land, reignite the bond between themselves and their cherished forest, and restore the Emberleaf to its sacred shrine. The time for renewal has come.

Game Overview

Emberleaf is a 1-5 player card-dancing and tile-placement game that immerses you in a world of hope. Recruit heroes, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and build new homes for your kin.

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.

In Emberleaf, every decision shapes the destiny of your people. Will you rise to the challenge, guide your village to prosperity, and win the heart of your people?
