City of Games will release Emberleaf, a new tile placement board game, which will hit retail in Q3 2025.
In this game, designed by James Tomblin and Frank West, players take on the roles of Emberlings that are trying rebuild their home in the heart of the forest. They will need explore the wilderness, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and construct new homes in order to repopulate the forest. The Emberlings will also recruit a few heroes along the way to add new skills to their building team. The main mechanics of the game include tile placement, engine building, resource management, and card dancing (sliding cards on the board to create powerful combos).
Emberleaf is for one to five players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 90 to 120 minutes. This game is a GTS Distribution exclusive.
