The mystical island of Emberheart is home to the last dragons. They have been living in harmony with the villagers until poachers from the Distant Lands have begun capturing them. The Dragon Ambassador now seeks the King’s support. As one of the King’s champions, your mission is to join forces with the villagers, rescue and protect the dragons, and stand against the evil poachers.

In Emberheart, you play as brave champions competing for glory by opposing poachers and rescuing dragons. Each round, send parties of hirelings to locations to claim their rewards—the larger your party, the sooner you pick. Defend against poacher raids, recruit heroes with unique abilities, train your personal dragon companion—and keep the dragonfire at bay in the heat of your actions!

• Send out parties: Build parties from your hirelings—either Grunts or experts—and send them out to locations all over the island to rescue dragons, recruit heroes and protect the island.

• Outbid your competition: Send out bigger parties than any other player to key locations to earn the biggest rewards in the end.

• Train your dragon companion: Improve the three attributes of your personal dragon companion to use their increasingly powerful effects.

• Combine your cards Your rescued dragons can help your dragon companion learn, or they can work with your recruited heroes, gaining you special abilities and end scoring conditions.
