Emberleaf (2025)

“Emberleaf is a game I can see myself coming back to when I want something thoughtful, unique, and highly interactive in how its systems evolve. It's not just another engine builder, it's one that actively moves underneath you as you play, and that alone makes it worth experiencing.”

“But I absolutely loved it. I thought it was doing something new, and that's why it is sitting so high for me in my enjoyment.”(22:43)

“Does it live up to the pedigree? Frank, you have knocked it out of the park again. This is an absolutely stellar game, um, and what it, what boils down to, what makes it so great, is this really fun and fresh approach to engine building.”(1:32:32)

“Overall we loved the game at three players, and I can't wait to get Emberleaf back to the table again with my full game group at five players. Excellent job Frank and James!”

“For me, Embelief is a very satisfying experience that I've enjoyed more as I've played it more. It tends to come in at generally around the 90”(16:21)

“I think in my opinion, this game benefits tremendously from that type of solo. If I was just playing against an [bot] that was doing the same thing and scoring and being aggressive this and that, I don't think I'd find this game as fun as I do.”(17:11)

“It's a design that blends new ideas with tried and trueue satisfaction delivery mechanisms. Abilities flow and blend into powerful combos, and there's plenty to do to constantly reward your efforts.”(7:46)

“I'd give Embley a solid eight out of 10. We're not talking distinction levels here, but it's still a great game. It's still really solid, does the job, ticks the boxes, you know, works with multiple player accounts, including solo”(22:28)

“The heroes the playing of these cards is the best part of the game the combo system of the sliding and the playing is the Make It or Break It for this if you don't like this you're not going to like this game whatsoever but it's done really really really well”(44:04)

“That is Ember Leaf. The production's wonderful. It's adorable as all heck, and it has a mechanic in there that I find really, really clever and really, really unique, and it's really quite fun.”(7:14)

“Gorgeous game. It's fun to play. There's lots of fun decisions to make, but it is fairly light. I mean, turn turns can go quickly because the game is a fairly light game in terms of these more advanced strategy games. That's perfect for our group.”(5:51)

“I love the look of the game. I think it's a high quality production. Um, so for me, yeah, it's outstanding. It's a nine out of 10.”(37:01)
