Read the full game description
Embers is a solo survival puzzle packed into an eighteen-card wallet game. Four heroes circle a sputtering campfire while beasts emerge from cards flipped out of the shrinking fire grid. Each hero moves differently, so every action point spent to move, defend, strengthen the party, or forage changes the order in which threats can be answered. Keep the flame alive through four hours of darkness to reach dawn.
