Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall*
Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall is a cooperative campaign game for 1 to 4 players ages 14 and up. Playing one of six Seekers, you defend the city of Din'Lux against the creatures of the Starless Nights across sessions of 45 to 60 minutes.
What's it about?
The world has fallen dark, and only the Seekers' kinfire lanterns keep the shadows at bay. Together you travel from quest to quest, guard each other's backs, and slowly help rebuild the broken world beyond. An ongoing story ties the individual adventures into one campaign.
How it plays
Every quest runs through three phases:
- Adventuring: you make choices on the quest cards and flip the right number and colour of cards from your deck to clear each challenge.
- Battle: you fight enemies on a physical battle map, drawing chits from the destiny bag to set turn order.
- Exploration: you investigate your surroundings and push the story forward.
Each Seeker plays distinctly thanks to their own custom deck.
Who it's for
- Groups who enjoy a narrative campaign across several evenings
- Fans of tactical co-op combat with hero roles
- Solo players, since the game supports a single hand
Conclusion
An atmospheric co-op adventure with handsome components and a story that keeps you coming back. It is no quick filler, but groups craving a shared heroic journey will find plenty here.
