Interesting take on the Viscounts of the West Kingdom system which also has on play, ongoing, and fall off effects and counts icons across the whole player board. This is unique though in having 8 slots and freedom for where new cards go on the board. Also, cards here are either in your hand or on the board, whereas in Viscounts there is a deck, a hand, a board, and a discard pile.
CORRECTIONS:
51:12 - I misspoke. This clearly gives 5 points if you have at least 3 wood and 3 food.
Thanks for this Jon! Great playthrough. Like a mix of Everdell and Root!
Thanks for another great tutorial, Jon. I like Emberleaf and will go all in. Great game.

Comparing it to Viscounts hadn't occurred to me, an interesting point.
You have really made me wonder now if they are too much alike. To have both in ones Collection of games…? 🤔
At 51:20 you say the favor card is for having the least food and wood but it says for having at least 3 wood and 3 food
Good catch, I did misread that while I was recording. I've added corrections.
