Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall is a cooperative campaign game that blends thrilling fantasy adventure with tactical, edge-of-your-seat combat. Play as one of six unique Seekers sworn to protect the city of Din’Lux and help rebuild the world beyond. Armed with companion Lanterns, you'll face the Starless Nights, battling the creatures that emerge, and shielding each other from the malevolent forces that seek to stop you. Each Quest has three phases: Adventure, Combat, and Exploration. In the Adventure phase, players make decisions based on the options presented on Quest Cards, and must accomplish something (such as crossing a river or tracking a suspect) by flipping the correct number and color of cards from their decks. In the Battle phase, players work together to defeat enemies on a physical battle map. Turns are determined by drawing chips from the Bag of Fate, with each enemy having numbered tokens that correspond to different attacks and actions. Players can play Action Cards on their own turns to deal damage, and can play Boost Cards on other players' turns to do things like reduce damage, move players, or even return a drawn chip to the Bag of Fate to be redrawn. The game does not end if a goal is not met or an enemy defeats the heroes, but it will impact later gameplay and choices. Finally, in certain quests during the Exploration phase, players can return to the city to talk to NPCs, buy items, and upgrade their decks. Woven throughout each of these phases are cards that compel you to make a decision, such as whether to rest before continuing or to press into battle, or whether or not to spare someone's life. The characters in the game have their own morals and standards, and playing by your characters can earn you Kinfire Tokens that help you level up. Ultimately, though, the choices you make are your own.
