Gloom of Kilforth: A Fantasy Quest Game – Gothic Adventure Strategy

🌑 A World Consumed by Darkness – The Original Kilforth Saga

Step into a land of high fantasy with a dark, gothic edge. Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, Gloom of Kilforth is the award-winning adventure game that launched a legendary trilogy. In this "living" card game, 1 to 4 players take on the roles of humble adventurers traveling across a 5x5 grid of modular locations to save the world from an encroaching supernatural darkness known as the Gloom.

As the days pass (tracked by a 25-round timer), locations physically flip to their "Gloom" side, becoming more dangerous and draining your health. You must grow your hero's power, complete your personal saga, and defeat a powerful Ancient before the land is lost forever.

Innovative Gameplay & Emergent Storytelling:

• The Saga System: Every hero follows a unique four-chapter story. You complete these chapters by collecting specific "Keywords" from encounters, locations, and artifacts, allowing for a thematic and personal sense of progression as you level up.
• Rumors into Reality: Items, allies, and spells aren't simply "bought." They start as rumors in your hand. You must travel to specific locations on the map to "discover" them and bring them into play, creating a deep sense of exploration and world-building.
• Health is Action: Your Action Points (AP) are tied directly to your Health (HP). As you take damage, you become less efficient. Managing this balance—deciding when to push your luck in battle and when to rest—is the heart of Kilforth’s strategy.
• Masterpiece Artwork: Featuring hundreds of unique illustrations by Ania Kryczkowska, every card in the game is a work of art, capturing a consistent, brooding atmosphere reminiscent of a gothic Tolkien world.
• Flexible Game Modes: Play Solo for the ultimate immersive experience, Cooperatively to take down the Ancient with friends, or Competitively to see whose saga becomes the stuff of legends.
