If you've already fallen in love with Flamecraft's universe and want to spice up your games, these additions are for you! The Spice Tower and Flamestarter Statue arrive to boost your dragon city, bringing more options and that extra dose of strategy that every board game fan adores. The Spice Tower is that 'wild card' shop, you know? It gives you the power to multiply the goods you already have or gifts you with a generous amount of an item you desperately need. It's the perfect ace up your sleeve to turn the game around! As for the Flamestarter Statue, it's for those seeking extra recognition: a shop that rewards you with dragons that have already passed through, adding an interesting tactical layer when planning your actions. And the art? Prepare yourself for a shower of references and nerdy jokes hidden in the illustrations, a true tribute to those who live and breathe board games. These pieces, originally from a Kickstarter and now available as promos, not only expand the possibilities of the base game but also add a special charm with their unique art and mechanics. If you enjoy the idea of a more dynamic board and more ways to fulfill contracts, these shops are quite an upgrade. They integrate perfectly into the game, maintaining Flamecraft's lightness and charm, but adding that extra flavor that makes all the difference. It's the kind of expansion that doesn't change the heart of the game, but makes it even more enjoyable to play.

Do I need the base game Flamecraft to use these expansions?
Absolutely! The Spice Tower and Flamestarter Statue are additional shops that integrate with the base game Flamecraft. Without it, they have nowhere to be played.
How many players do these expansions support?
They work perfectly with the base game's player count, which ranges from 1 to 5 players. The experience adapts well across all counts.
Do these new shops make the game much more complicated?
Don't worry! The complexity remains very accessible, similar to the base game. The new mechanics are easy to learn and add more options without overwhelming.
What is the average playtime with these additions?
The playtime should remain very close to the base game, around 60 minutes. The new shops speed up some actions, but the total duration doesn't change drastically.
Where can I get these shops?
Originally, they were released as part of a Kickstarter. Now, they can be found in promotional packs or at specialty stores that sell extra components for Flamecraft.
Are they worth it for someone who already owns the base game?
If you enjoy Flamecraft and want a bit more strategic variety and fun references, yes! They add a special charm and more flexibility without changing the game's essence.
