Bonfires are sources of light, energy and heat created by the keepers of light to illuminate cities. However, the inhabitants take them for granted and exploit them for their personal gain. Disappointed, the Keepers of Light withdrew and let the bonfires go out. Residents were forced to leave, no longer able to live in the now obscure towns. Play as a group of gnomes living not far from cities, visit the Keepers of Light on their sacred islands and ask them for missions to prove your good will. For each task completed, they will rekindle a bonfire!

The game is a succession of turns played in a clockwise direction. Throughout the game, you will move your pawns, place your tiles and manage your Resources. Receive and complete Missions: A completed Mission is used to rekindle 1 Inferno and send 1 Novice (gnome) to the High Council.

On your turn, choose to place a Fate tile to gain Action tiles, to resolve an action to move your ship, to receive a mission, to build a path for the Guardians' processions, to start a Procession or to recruit a gnome, or to revive a blaze. Also place your novices in the High Council. Depending on the number of players, the number of Novices placed will trigger the end of the game and the final scoring. Earn points for each of your Braziers, for each of your Guardians on a Brazier, for each of your Portals connected to a Brazier, for each of your Path tiles with a Crystal of the same color as the linked Brazier, for each Mission of the Advice you can accomplish. The player with the most victory points wins the game.
