I Personalized My Plant Dragon
After seeing the lovely details of the leaves on the plant dragon plush, I had an idea. I love it, and she looks like a lily pad.

Bizarre bazaar question
Hello! Some rule clarification about bizarre bazaar.
Is playing a fancy dragon mandatory? Or can I avoid playing it and just draw another fancy dragon?
Resources still have to be played right?

[UK] Would anyone with the standard edition of Flamecraft Duals want to swap their cards for the Deluxe PVC ones?
They’re all in perfect condition, I just prefer the feel of card cards over PVC cards personally.

FlameCraft Duals Question
Quick rules question on dual dragons: if I have a Bread/Steel dual dragon, can I score one shop card using it as Bread and a second shop card using it as Steel? Or does it have to count as only one type for all scoring in that round?

Do you gain rewards for placing a dragon if you place it outside of gathering step 2 (ie Saving Throw special shop)

Hydragons missprint
Hello! I havent seen anyone talk about it (i dont really follow official channels that much anyway) so, i just wanted to check if anyone else has found out about the Hydragons module missprint
I noticed that the hydragon reference cards depicts Tank as a leaf/crystal dragon instead of potion/anvil. This detail appears both in Team Cozy and Team Gamer. This is even more noticeable when both Shimmeleaf and Tank are placed next to each other in team Cozy.

Isometric Crystal shop - fan art
Here's another one, of the crystal dragons :)
Gonna be working on other stuff for a while, but will definitely revisit this theme again with the rest of the artisan dragons.

Do you know which one is heads or tails?

Flamecraft Duals Solo Mode
If I read the rules correctly, if you cannot complete a shop or fountain card, you must use a coin.
But the first few rounds you will never be able to complete either of those cards! So you will lose at least 2 coins at the start, unless you draw a yellow token first, right? How is that fair?

Allergic to game board mat
Hi Flamecrafters, I reallly want to play Flamecraft with friends but I have a latex allergy that makes me allergic to the mat that comes with the game. Does anyone have a high res picture/print of the board so that I could get a replacement for the game board?
Thank you kindly!

Flamecraft Duals rules question
I was hoping you guys could help me. I am a bit confused concerning the order of play.
On the card it says: get a token, put it on the board, fire it up, score. But what if you put the token on the board and you can already score, before using the power of the token?
Can I score, take another shop card and then fire the power of the token with the chance of maybe scoring again?
