About Emberdeck
Emberdeck is a card game with a map above it. Fights are won by stacking burn, which does its damage over time rather than now, so most turns are spent surviving long enough for the damage you already applied to land. Block is what buys you those turns.
The expensive spells are paid for in cards. Sacrificing from your own hand is what fuels them, which turns every strong play into a decision about what you are giving up for it. On the map, elites cost health and pay in relics, and a seeded Daily Run gives everybody the same climb to compare.
How to play
- Play cards from your hand to stack burn and to block.
- Sacrifice cards from your hand to fuel the expensive spells.
- End the turn, then choose your next route on the map.

Tips
- Block on the turn you set a big burn up. Surviving it is what makes the burn worth applying.
- Take an elite while your health can pay for it. The relic is worth more than the fight costs.
