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.

Un arte precioso, un sistema novedoso pero ocupa mucha mesa y hay que entenderlo bien para disfrutar

I finally had a chance to play it. We had a 4 player game, for a first play and teach it lasted about 3 hours. I made some mistakes but everyone still had fun and will try playing again. Trying to optimize your turn is the interesting part, sometimes it ends really fast when you cant place another card and have to slide. My wife will play more of it so it is a win in my book.

The mechanics are decent but the game overstays its welcome TOO much, it should end like about 30-60 mins before of when it really ends, so during around the last 1/4 of the game or so it just feels like a drag and not fun anymore. Maybe a variant of lowering the amount of trophies needed to activate the end game or something like that might help but I don't know if it would affect the balance. Also there are many moving parts sometimes during a player's turn so it can lead to someone forgetting something and then remembering it a bit later. I agree with another review where it states that
