An ancient world. A living forest. A challenge to be built leaf by leaf.
In Emberleaf , you take on the role of an Emberling and return to your homeland to rebirth it. You are not alone: others like you seek to regain balance, memory, and a future in this enchanted yet confined place. Every move is a silent clash between harmony and ambition.

- Resource management with exploration and remediation of hazardous areas

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. From ashes to forest: Your mission begins now.
In Emberleaf , each player takes on the role of an Emberling committed to rebuilding their community in the heart of an ancient forest. To do so, you'll need to explore the land, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and build villages that meet the needs of your people. But you're not the only one with this goal: the forest is vast, but not infinite.
2. The Card Dance: Strategically Dance Your Grid.
At the heart of the game is an innovative system called Card Dancing : you'll place Hero cards within a moving grid that allows you to slide them to activate abilities, charge them, and chain together devastating combos. Every move is a tactical choreography, where timing and positioning make the difference between a mediocre turn and an explosion of power.
3. Build, recruit, upgrade – the forest comes to life.
At the same time, you'll dedicate yourself to laying tiles to build your villages, recruiting new Heroes with unique abilities, and progressively building the engine that enhances the synergies between your team members. Each Hero adds new possibilities, making each game different and highly strategic.
4. The forest is alive… and narrow.
Emberleaf is also about resource and territory management : you'll explore dangerous areas, gather essential materials, and compete with other Emberlings for the best spaces. The map is shared and interactive: every move can hinder or help others' plans, and timing is crucial to conquering what you need before it's too late.
5. A mix of fresh and interactive mechanics.
Between tile placement, hand management, engine building, and a dynamic grid , Emberleaf offers a rich, deep, and ever-changing experience. Every decision matters. Every card can change your fortunes. Do you have what it takes to lead your people to prosperity… or will you be just another extinguished fire in the forest?

Emberleaf
In Emberleaf you don't play: you dance with the fate of your people.
A strategic puzzle game of glades, fire, and fate
Emberleaf – Build, battle, and dance in the living forest
In an ancient forest shrouded in mystery and enchanted flames, a small race of creatures called Emberlings seeks rebirth. You are one of them. Your task? Lead the village to prosperity , overcoming obstacles, taming the land, and building a vibrant haven where they can flourish.
But beware: space is limited , and other Emberlings have the same dreams as you. With cards that slide and fit together in a dance, tiles to be cleverly placed, and difficult choices to be made, each turn is a little strategic tale.
Emberleaf is a board game for 1-5 players , combining tile placement, engine building and resource management with an innovative twist: card dancing , a mechanic where you slide cards to trigger brilliant combos and tactical choices.

We expected a great game. We found a little gem.
Emberleaf is one of those titles that is unlike anything else : the card dancing system is a mechanic that surprises you every time, and the feeling of your village growing is tangible, exciting.
