About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought the-chaos in Fire Tower was intense, get ready to turn up the heat! The Rising Flames expansion is here to crank up the tension and add a whole new layer of survival-driven strategy to your tabletop sessions. We're talking about rapid crown fires, unpredictable winds, and weather-driven-chaos that can turn a winning position into a disaster in a heartbeat.

To combat this-growing threat, you'll get your hands on a powerful new deck and even a flock of legendary firehawks to defend your territory. But watch out—the Shadow of the Wood is evolving. Destroyed towers aren't just gone; they can now trigger unique-abilities that allow for sudden, game-changing-comebacks. Whether you are looking for a solo challenge with the new single-player mode or just want more-variants to keep your group on their toes, Rising Flames delivers. With custom meeples and fresh-mechanics, it's the ultimate way to keep the flames burning bright in your next game night!
