Monster Couch Booth (PAX East 2025)
At PAX East 2025, we visited the Monster Couch booth and experienced one of their games. We also learned about their upcoming title, Flamecraft, and tried the digital edition of Wingspan.
Wingspan’s digital version does a great job bringing the awesome board game to your screen. People love that it plays just like the original, and the bird art is gorgeous—they even move and make their real sounds! It’s a super chill but smart game to get into, and playing by yourself against the computer is surprisingly fun. Plus, you don’t have to worry about setting up the board or keeping track of all the rules, which is a big win.
Sometimes the screen can feel a bit busy, and figuring out where everything is might take a sec. Playing with others online is cool, but now and then, you might run into slow turns or little glitches. Still, it’s a really well-done version that totally gets what made the board game so cool. If you like chill strategy games, definitely check it out!
The second game we tried was Flamecraft. Flamecraft, developed by Monster Couch and created in partnership with Cardboard Alchemy, is an enchanting strategy game set in a vibrant world where artisan dragons use their fiery skills to help shopkeepers. Originally a popular tabletop game, Flamecraft is being adapted into a digital version for PC and will be available via Steam.
In Flamecraft, players take on the role of a Flamekeeper. The primary goal is to earn the most reputation points by strategically placing specialized artisan dragons (such as bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant, and potion dragons) in various shops within the town’s bustling shopping district. These dragons help gather resources, which can then be used to enchant shops and trigger powerful ability combos.
