Emberheart

In Emberheart, you play as brave champions competing for glory by opposing poachers and rescuing dragons.

Over five rounds, you and your opponents send Parties of Hirelings to locations across the island to recruit Heroes, rescue Dragons, expand Preserves, and launch counterattacks from the Garrison. Each player can train their own Dragon Companion's Attributes, such as Strength, Senses, and Speed, shaping their strategy as the game unfolds.

To visit locations, you need parties of Hirelings: Grunts are versatile but single-use, while Scouts, Rangers, and Wardens are permanent, but limited to specific locations. The poachers will not rest, and in the Raid Phase, you must assign Hirelings to repair the damage they cause or risk raising your Flame. Keep your Flame lower than your rivals’ for extra Glory at the end of the game.

Victory goes to the champion with the most Glory from rescued Dragons, completed Garrison missions, recruited Heroes, and their Dragon Companion’s growth.
