Fire Tower

Players man fire towers and manage resources to protect their own outpost while directing a spreading blaze toward rivals. On a shared forest grid, players play action cards that place patterns of fire, water, wind shifts, and firebreaks, dispatching engines and calling air drops to alter the terrain. A special Firestorm deck escalates flames whenever drawn, forcing adjustment of plans. Turns focus on spatial planning and card management: choose where to place flames or defenses, manipulate wind to redirect spread, and balance offense with survival. The game supports 2–4 players, is quick to learn, and emphasizes tactical positioning over cooperative play.
