Bonfire

The bonfires once lit up the cities with light, warmth, and energy. But when the people took them for granted, the guardians of light withdrew, and the flames were extinguished. Now, the cities lie in darkness.

As a clever gnome living nearby, you set out to rekindle the lost bonfires. You must sail to the holy islands, earn tasks from the guardians, and prove your worth. For every task completed, a bonfire will be lit once again. The player who earns the most trust and brings the most light back to their city will win.

At the heart of Bonfire is a clever tile puzzle system. Place colored tiles efficiently to gain more actions of that type, allowing you to specialize in different strategies. Actions include:

• Sailing to distant islands

• Gaining tasks from guardians

• Bringing guardians into your city

• Triggering processions for extra resources

• Adding landscape tiles to grow your city

• Recruiting gnomes for powers and points

• Gaining rewards from the final bonfire

The game ends after a set number of tasks are completed. Then, players score points for completed bonfires and all enhancements they’ve added.

Bonfire is a strategic game of tile puzzling, resource management, and long-term planning from designer Stefan Feld.
