Kinfire Delve: Vainglory's Grotto^*

Kinfire Delve: Vainglory's Grotto is a cooperative dungeon-diving card game for one or two Seekers who descend into a cursed well.

What is it about?

As Seekers, you fight your way down through the well deck. At the bottom waits Vainglory, the master of the well. You only win after you beat her final gauntlet. The game comes from Kevin Wilson and is set in the Kinfire Chronicles universe.

How it plays

1. Take on a challenge from the well deck.
2. Play a matching skill card and roll the dice.
3. Add enough progress tokens to earn a reward.
4. Fail, and you lose health or discard cards.

Even when it is not your turn, your cards can boost a teammate. But be careful: an empty hand brings exhaustion and can cost you the game.

Who is it for?

This one fits couples and solo players who like short, sharp adventures. A game runs about an hour. The rules sit in the middle and are quick to learn.

• 57 challenge cards in the well deck
• Dice and progress tokens
• Cards for skills and bonuses

Conclusion

If you want a tactical co-op for two, you get a lot of tension in a small box. Players who need big tables and many seats should look elsewhere.
