Read the full game description

Kinfire Delve: Scorn’s Stockade is a compact cooperative card game for one or two players. Each player chooses a Seeker with a unique deck, while the Well is built from challenge cards and three progressively harder gauntlets leading to the Well Master, Scorn. On a turn, the active Seeker plays a card to attack a challenge, completes its printed instructions, and rolls the relevant skill dice; the other Seeker may boost the attempt by playing a matching card from hand. Progress tokens mark damage against the challenge, but any challenge left undefeated retaliates, draining the team’s shared health or imposing disruptive effects. The same cards that drive actions are also the team’s defenses and tactical resources, so spending the perfect card now can expose the group later. Delving removes cards from the Well and moves the gauntlet closer, while exhausted cards, darkness results, and Scorn’s illusions steadily narrow the options. Defeat the final gauntlet and Scorn before shared health reaches zero to win. Its Seekers can also be mixed with Callous’ Lab and Vainglory’s Grotto for new cooperative combinations.
