A gentle race against time, where every flicker counts.
Fireflies in a Jar is a beautifully atmospheric board game that captures the quiet magic of summer evenings. Players step into the role of twilight wanderers, racing softly through gardens, fields, and woods to catch glowing fireflies before the night gives way to dawn.
With a mix of luck, memory, and gentle strategy, this game invites players to savor the moment, plan their paths, and collect light in its most fleeting form.
📦 What’s Inside:
- Modular game board with dusk-to-dawn zones
- 60 firefly tokens in different glow levels
- 40 movement and action cards
- 6 character pawns (each with unique traits)
- Time tracker board and moon phase dial
- “Wind & Weather” event deck
- Illustrated rulebook with solo, co-op, and versus modes
🕹️ How to Play:
Players begin just as the sun disappears, each with an empty jar and a shared goal: collect as many fireflies as possible before dawn. On each turn, players move across the board using movement cards, flipping tiles to reveal glowing fireflies — or fleeting shadows.
Some fireflies shine bright and stay longer; others vanish quickly. Special cards like “Still Breeze” or “Rustling Grass” can affect visibility, attract extra light, or delay your progress. Strategy lies in choosing where to move, when to catch, and how to read the rhythm of the night.
The game ends when the night reaches its final phase — and the player with the most glowing fireflies in their jar is crowned the Keeper of Light.
