Flamecraft invites players into a whimsical world where artisan dragons, the smaller and magically gifted relatives of their larger and more destructive kin, are highly prized by shopkeepers for their enchanting flamecraft. As a Flamekeeper, you are skilled in communicating with these dragons, placing them in their ideal homes, and using enchantments to help them create wondrous goods. Your goal is to grow your reputation by assisting the dragons and shopkeepers, ultimately striving to be known as the Master of Flamecraft.

In this game for 1-5 players, you take on the role of a Flamekeeper, gathering items, placing dragons, and casting enchantments to enhance the town's shops. The dragons specialize in different crafts—bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant, and potion—and as a Flamekeeper, you know which shops will suit each dragon best.

During your turn, you can visit a shop to gather items and receive a favor from one of the dragons residing there. These items can then be used to enchant a shop, which earns you reputation points and the favors of all the dragons in that shop. Attracting fancy dragons can give you even more opportunities to secure additional reputation.

Flamecraft combines elements of fantasy, city building, worker placement, and hand management in a delightful game for players ages [missing age detail]. Each decision you make, from where you place your dragons to how you use your gathered items, will bring you closer to becoming the most revered Flamekeeper in the land.
