Fire Tower Board Game

EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO LEARN: Fire Tower takes seconds to set up and minutes to learn. The game is highly accessible because of its intuitive rules and visual instructions that show how each card works.
UNIQUE THEME AND GAMEPLAY: Fire Tower brings players into a unique world of competitive firefighting. Use real firefighting techniques to defend your tower from the growing flames and take control of nature to send the fire towards your opponents to claim victory. Each turn, you must spread the fire in the direction of the wind and then play one of your action cards. Extinguish the blaze with fire engines, dispatch smoke jumpers, and build firebreaks. Harness the destructive force of nature to spread the flames away from your tower and towards your opponents.
STRATEGIC AND FAST-PACED with HIGH REPLAYABILITY: Fire Tower takes 15-30 minutes to play. Every turn is a tense decision, as players must adjust to changing conditions in the forest and the plans of their opponents. Downtime is minimal, and players stay in the game even after their towers are destroyed, continuing to play as the vengeful Shadow of the Wood with special powers and a new path to victory. Try playing free-for-all or battle in teams of two to change up the strategy of the game.
VIBRANT ARTWORK AND COMPONENTS: The game features original watercolors by fine artist Kevin Ruelle. The vivid colors perfectly match the beautiful, unique components and create a highly tactile experience that fully immerses players in the theme of the game. The game’s deluxe components include 135 glimmering fire gems, a printed cloth bag, custom meeples, an engraved wind die, and more.
THE PERFECT GIFT: This game is a great gift for gamers, teens, adults and kids. It’s easy to introduce to new players, but has enough strategic depth to engage gamers as well, making it the perfect fit for family game night, Thanksgiving, or your next weekly get-together.
DELUXE EDITION: This special edition of Fire Tower features exclusive deluxe components. Harness the power of the wind with a hefty, custom metal wind die with red and orange color-mixed enamel on each face. Build your defenses with 18mm firebreak tokens (upgraded from 15mm) that now have a hand-drawn emblem screen-printed on each one. Heed the winds with a thicker 2-sided weathervane with a silver foil design.

Each player is assigned a fire tower in their corner of the board, and dealt five action cards and one Bucket card. The weathervane die decides which way the wind is blowing. Every turn, the fire spreads in the direction of the wind. Players can then use their cards to extinguish fire, build firebreaks, spread the fire, change the direction of the wind, and more.

Play the Smokejumper to descend into the fire and extinguish it from within; play the Dozer Line to expose nutrient rich soil that will bolster your defenses; or play the Burning Snag to send the inferno towards your opponent. When your tower starts feeling the heat, play your Bucket for temporary relief. Beware the Firestorm, which must be played the instant it’s drawn. This card causes the fire to spread rapidly, and allows all players to discard and redraw their cards.

The momentum of the game can change at any moment. Towers surrounded by fire can still change their fortunes and the clear front-runner can suddenly find themselves engulfed in flames. Only solid spatial creativity and strategic planning can save players’ towers from strong winds and the wrath of their opponents. Click here to view the rulebook.
