Emberleaf from City of Games is here.
A euro driven card combo-ing resource management game.
Recruit your asymmetric heroes, slide them along your action drive board and bring the combos to full tilt in order to outmaneuver, outbuild and outscore your opponents.
I'll be giving you an overview of what the game is doing, how it plays and then go further diving into the mechanics. I'll run through several rounds of gameplay to give you an idea of what turns look like while showing off the card combo system that has been developed. Hopefully this will give you a sense of what to expect and whether or not this is right for you! Or skip to the end to hear my final thoughts.
P.S. Hopefully I didn't screw up too many explanations in my excitement!
Thanks for watching!
