About the game
Emberleaf is a board game from City of Games, designed by James Tomblin and Frank West (2025). It plays 1–5 players in 90–120 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.6 out of 10 and call it medium-heavy (3.1 / 5 weight).
Emberleaf is a sophisticated competitive card-dancing and tile-placement board game supporting 1-5 players. Players assume the role of Emberlings tasked with rebuilding their settlement within an ancient forest through strategic exploration, resource acquisition, and construction. The game's innovative "Card Dancing" mechanism allows players to manipulate a dynamic grid of hero cards, creating tactical combinations and timing activations for maximum effect. This core system integrates seamlessly with territorial tile placement, creating a multidimensional decision space where fellowship management and spatial control determine success in this elegantly designed, highly replayable strategy game.
