From Monster Couch, the creators of digital adaptations of Wingspan and Calico.

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. They will help you gather various resources from the shops, which you can later use to cast enchantments, triggering powerful ability combos. 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!

Flamecraft Duals

Cardboard Alchemy
Age Range

Player Range
1-2

Ever wondered what the dragons of Flamecraft do on their lunch break? Play Flamecraft Duals, of course! Set in the world of Flamecraft, Duals is a two-player travel-friendly game of pattern-making and quick, puzzly fun! You will meet the artisan dragons again with new powers, and this time the challenge is to get your dragons in a row. As you draw dragons, you might get lucky and come across a rare dual-colored Hydragon, with double the artisanal skills! As you play, the board will fill up with adorable dragons, stacking and soaring across the table, and you will work to fire-up their abilities, make matches, and complete shop cards.

Flamecraft Duals is a two-player abstract pattern-building game that takes about 30 minutes to play. Each round, a player draws a dragon from the bag and places it on the shared central board. Every dragon type has a special ability that can be fired up to draw more dragons or rearrange those already on the board. You want to match three dragons on the board to the pattern on the shop cards in your hand to score them. Once all the dragons are drawn from the bag, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.

Whisperwood

Cardboard Alchemy
Age Range
14+
Player Range
1-4

Whisperwood is a bag-building game for 2-4 players of druids harnessing the power of the elements and the natural world to restore a forest. Each round players simultaneously summon magical energy in the form of tokens and plan the incantations they will perform. The players then perform their incantations in turn order, restoring air, water and earth, partnering with wildlife, inscribing runes and awakening the Guardian Golems to perform magical tasks. The land is strewn with corruption and the druids must absorb and purify this corruption to heal the forest - but take on too much corruption and your magical abilities will be compromised!
