Emberleaf - Board Game (NL)

Emberleaf is a strategic board game for 1 to 5 players. You play as an Emberling rebuilding their home in an ancient forest. You explore the forest, gather resources, and clear dangerous areas. Then you build homes for your people.

The special thing about it is the card-shifting mechanic. You place hero cards on your own board and shift them to the left. This activates abilities and builds combinations. The game is beautifully designed, but you have to think carefully every turn.

You choose a party of six heroes. The player with the most points at the end wins. Each turn you perform one main action:

• Play a hero: you place a hero card on an empty space on your board and use the ability associated with it.
• Slide: all cards on your board move one space to the left. This activates slide abilities. A card that falls off the board returns to your hand.
• Build and explore: using your abilities, you travel through the forest, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and place buildings.
• Free actions: for example, you may take a promise card. This is a personal goal that awards points at the end.

Example: you place a card with a powerful ability on the left side of your board. It will quickly fall off, allowing you to play it again quickly.

During the game, you can also earn trophies, for example when the last building space in a clearing is filled. At the end, the points from your buildings, trophies, and promise cards are counted.

• Dancing cards You choose not only which card to play, but also where to place it and when to shift. Good timing creates powerful combinations.
• Your village grows Each new hero makes your team stronger. You see your plan take shape turn by turn.
• Also playable alone You can play with 1 to 5 players. There is a solo variant with its own cards.
