Played a few games of #EmberLeaf over the last 2 days and really like it! It's a eurogame with some deck-building and clever card-placement mechanics.
I really appreciate how they structured some of the scoring: instead of the usual X points for biggest city, Y points for most money, *almost* all the points are collected in-game but you also collect end-game goals as you play -- checking if you hit those goals are the only end-game math.
Recommend it if you're interested something with lots of fun moving parts and engine building without feeling as cumbersome or fiddly as something like Terra Mystica (though with a little more luck involved due to cards).
Also all the characters are little animals in armour ~
