Emberheart is a fantasy worker placement game by Mindclash Games in which rival champions recruit heroes, rescue and train dragons, and rally Emberheart's villagers against relentless poachers.
How do you play the game?
Emberheart lasts five rounds. On your turn, you send parties of hirelings to locations across the island or take an Aide. Party size matters: larger groups choose from the available rewards earlier. Grunts are flexible but single-use, while Scouts, Rangers and Wardens are specialised and reusable. Recruit Heroes, rescue captured Dragons, expand Preserves, train your Dragon Companion and strike back against the poachers. A Poachers' Raid occurs at the end of each round. Your rescued Dragons, Heroes, trained companion and Flame level contribute to your final Glory.
