Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 6 out of 10

    A very simple game of collecting resources and fulfilling contracts. It's inoffensive and would appeal if you love the theme of cute dragons shopping in cute shops. But the simplicity of what you are doesn't justify how fiddly the game is. Decisions don't seem very hard and the different options often have pretty similar outcomes. A good deal of player interaction that usually feels a bit random and insignificant.

  2. 6.5 out of 10

    + Incredibly engaging visual appeal to every bit and piece of the game screams for attention; Despite the simplistic rules to the game, there is room for clever play. - This game doesn't quite have the strategic options and depth that I typically enjoy in a game, but this is fun for a quick gateway game with the kids. Why it's previously-owned: It's a charming game for sure, but there's just not much to it to make me want to play it outside of the overall look of the game.

  3. 8 out of 10

    Worker placement, resource management, order fulfillment I think the game can be played by newer players. I'm not sure if I love the game because there were some confusing parts to the rules. Like why does "town" refer to shop dragons? It would be easier if town was replaced by shop. Because in a normal world, a park is part of the town. Plus, the video with Quackelope and the designer actually made the game confusing because thematically, the game ends when all dragons are employed but really the game ends when the deck runs out regardless of the dragons left unemployed in the park. I wish the reference card specified "max ARTISNAL dragons" since if I set the game down for a year that's a detail I would need to look up. Wording for Draconic Tonic is confusing and the clarification needed more words. Otherwise, the rulebook is nicely laid out and was easy to reference. I think this game has the potential to be one of my favorite games and if the rulebook or wording was just a little more polished I would have given it an 8.5.

Flamecraft Shopkeeper Pledge includes:

  • Flamecraft (Standard Edition)
  • Standard Edition Stretch Goals
  • Exclusive KS items!

Artisan dragons, the smaller and magically talented versions of their larger (and destructive) cousins, are sought by shopkeepers so that they may delight customers with their flamecraft. You are a Flamekeeper, skilled in the art of conversing with dragons, placing them in their ideal home and using enchantments to entice them to produce wondrous things. Your reputation will grow as you aid the dragons and shopkeepers, and the Flamekeeper with the most reputation will be known as the Master of Flamecraft.

In Flamecraft, 2-5 players take on the role of Flamekeepers, gathering items, placing dragons and casting enchantments to enhance the shops of the town. Dragons are specialized (bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant and potion) and the Flamekeepers know which shops are the best home for each. Visit a shop to gain items and a favor from one of the dragons there. Gathered items can be used to enchant a shop, gaining reputation and the favors of all the dragons in the shop. If you are fortunate enough to attract fancy dragons then you will have opportunities to secure even more reputation.
