Board Game Geek Rating: 6.08. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.78. This is a Kickstarter bundle for the Gloom of Kilforth board game by Hall or Nothing Productions. It's a high - fantasy card game with a Gothic touch, suitable for 1 - 4 players and playable in 1 - 3 hours. The land of Kilforth is full of dangers, including nefarious monsters, mysterious strangers, and treacherous locations. At its center lies The Sprawl, a huge city where heroes start their journey. Factions like the Order of the Rose and the Doom Guard compete for power, and the Overlord Masklaw presides over the outside world. A deadly Gloom will descend, and heroes must battle through it to save the land. The bundle includes the core game, the 'Encounters' Expansion (combining all met stretch goals from the second Kickstarter campaign), and the 'Pimp My Gloom' Expansion Pack. The Dark Gloom Expansion Pack is not included but can be ordered separately. Drawing inspiration from various popular games, this game distils the heroic storytelling of an in - depth role - playing game into an evening - long experience. The Saga Chapters and Night card decks are the key drivers of the game. TheGameSteward is glad to offer this game for online purchase, and a large percentage of each dollar spent will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have any purchase questions or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
