About the game

What you do in a play session

In a world where artisan dragons, smaller and magically talented versions of their larger (and somewhat destructive) cousins, are highly sought after by shopkeepers to delight customers with their flamecraft, you take on the role of a Flamekeeper. Your mission? To converse with these adorable dragons, find the perfect home for them in the city's shops, and use enchantments to entice them to produce wondrous things. The more you help the dragons and merchants, the more your reputation grows. The Flamekeeper with the most reputation at the end of the game will be crowned the Master of Flamecraft!

From 1 to 5 players embark on this adventure, gathering items, placing dragons, and casting enchantments to enhance the town's shops. Each dragon specializes in a type of resource (bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant, and potion), and you, as an experienced Flamekeeper, know exactly which shop is the best home for each. When visiting a shop, you gain items and a favor from one of the dragons residing there. With the collected items, you can enchant a shop, which not only boosts your reputation but also secures the favors of all dragons in that establishment. And if luck smiles upon you and you attract 'fancy dragons', prepare for even greater opportunities to accumulate reputation points and become the most renowned Flamekeeper of all!
