Stefan Feld’s Bonfire Arrives This October

Aug 19, 2020

The newest Stefan Feld board game design is arriving in October from Hall Games and Pegasus Spiele. In Bonfire, players will lead their gnomes as they do their best to relight the mystical bonfires of a darkened planet. The game is for one to four players, ages 12+, plays in around 70-100 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $49.99 when it arrives in October.

From Pegasus Spiele:

The bonfires are sources of light, energy and warmth created by the guardians of light in order to brighten the cities on the otherwise dark planet. The residents of the cities however, took the bonfires for granted and exploited them for their personal gain. Disappointed the guardians of light retreated and let the bonfires extinguish. The citizens could no longer live in the now dark cities and were forced to leave.

You are a group of gnomes living close to the cities and you also need and the light of the bonfires. Missing it now, you try yourself to visit the cities and learn how to ignite the bonfires once again: You must visit the guardians of light on their holy islands and ask for tasks to prove your good will. For each completed task, they will re-ignite one extinguished bonfire. Whoever manages to earn the greatest trust from the guardians and manages to brighten their city the most will win the game.
Bonfire is diversified and ambitious, demanding sophisticated strategy as well as short-term adaptability.

Renowned designer Stefan Feld has created an exciting and challenging game experience that offers a lot of variability with only a few available actions.
