Flamecraft is a cozy, turn-based strategy board game for 1 to 5 players. Become a Flamekeeper and help artisan dragons and shopkeepers delight the townspeople with their craft. Gather and manage resources, enhance the shops by casting enchantments, and magic your way to becoming the best Flamekeeper.
Your main task is to thoughtfully place dragon artisans in the town's bustling shopping district.

You'll also befriend the extraordinary Fancy Dragons, with abilities allowing you to boost your reputation. Your main goal is to earn the most reputation points by the time the game ends. If you manage to do that, you'll earn the Master of Flamecraft title!
Here are the game's main features explained in more detail:
Become a Flamekeeper and enter a cozy, vibrant world inhabited by dragons
Flamecraft is set in a fantasy world in which dragons and magic are part of the ordinary. Here, you'll meet the adorable artisan dragons, who will use their extraordinary flamecraft to help the town's shopkeepers create goods out of this world.
Play in a variety of gameplay modes, both single and multiplayer
Flamecraft offers a variety of gameplay modes and difficulty levels. You can test your skills against AI or set up a relaxing custom game to play with close ones.
Each game is full of charming surprises and opportunities to strategize with how many dragons, shops, and enchantments there are. The order they appear in is random, but how you decide to play them is entirely up to you, leading to each play - solo or multiplayer - feeling uniquely different.
Moreover, we enhance the additional board game Solo Mode with a heartwarming story, expanding Flamecraft's extensive lore, giving it more depth and immersion.
Meet over 70 beautiful animated dragons and visit 30 unique shops while listening to a whimsical score
In Flamecraft, we've brought the enchanting world created by Sandara Tang to life. The beautifully illustrated dragons come to life as they use their craft in the vibrant 3D town, full of animated shops, booths, and laboratories.
Paweł Górniak, the composer behind Wingspan and Quilts and Cats of Calico, is also back, with another spellbinding score.
HOW TO PLAY
You'll have to strategize and outsmart other Flamekeepers if you want to come out on top. There are countless ways to victory, and it's up to you to make the most of your skills.
On your turn, you'll visit one of the various shops in town to either gather resources or enchant the shops using magical creations. You could visit Gnome Depot to grab some iron, get freshly baked bread from Drake of Cakes, or brew mysterious potions at Draconic Tonic.
You'll need those, among others, to later enchant the shops - this will let you fire up all of the dragons from a shop and combine their abilities to create amazing combos.
This, along with the Fancy Dragon cards, which offer powerful one-time abilities or additional end-game scoring opportunities, will let you get the reputation points needed to win the game.
The board game developed by Cardboard Alchemy, into which Monster Couch is breathing digital life, will be released on Steam.
