NOTE: It appears I have posted the update on the wrong account, my sincere apologies everyone, but since I'm here, here's a sneak peak of the Kinfire Council campaign:
tl;dr - Update on the errata pack, stretch goals, and a discussion around the tiered board in Kinfire Council
-
Happy DAY 2, adventurers!
Let’s kick it off with a moment of gratitude today–it’s so incredible to see over a thousand of you here with us in under 24 hours. It’s easy to see the numbers but to imagine 1,000 people playing our games, supporting us, and sharing your passion with us is pretty incredible if you ask me.
I’ve had the privilege of being to many table top conventions, and one ritual/tradition I always follow is to head on over to the free-play or open gaming area and just take a few minutes to take it all in. It’s such a heartwarming feeling to see so many people experiencing games at the same time, laughing, scrunching up their faces thinking of the best strategy, and simply enjoying the company of others.
I dream for the day we can have a huge room of all of us taking on Well Masters in Kinfire Delve, seeing which of us is the best Councilor in Kinfire Council, etc. It certainly would be a sight to see and a dream to strive for, and you being here with us in this campaign is just one step closer to that dream.
Now before we get to the 3D Insert Storage Solution and Tiered Game Board, let’s address some of the frequently asked questions and comments.
01. Backer Feedback
I want to celebrate Marina’s creativity here–thematic comments like these make my day!
We’ve heard the feedback regarding the Upgrade Kit and various other elements of our campaign and are taking time to digest and see what we can do to support you all. We really want to make our backers feel proud to be our supporters and feel that you are being heard. Thank you for your kindness, support, and patience as we explore options and elaborate on decision-making, it means a lot to us.
We’ve also heard feedback from previous backers that it wasn’t clear what is different in the 2nd print of Kinfire Chronicles. Here is a quick list:
French and German localized versions
Errata fixes to specific cards and map pages --> we're making these available to previous Kinfire Chronicles backers through the errata pack
Adventure Book (previously story cards): same story, updated for errata fixes and new format
Seeker and Quest folio boxes slightly redesigned to prevent components falling out
6 Card dividers added for the loot box to help with card organization
Enemy ability tokens have reversed colors on the backsides to help track which one has been activated
A different axle for health dials
Based on a suggestion from the community, we decided to add the card dividers as well as a bag of replacement axles into the Errata Pack. The Adventure Book will not be available as a separate add on in this campaign.
If you have specific queries or issues we encourage you to continue leaving comments and asking us, or you can always email our customer service email as well ([email protected]), just to make sure we have all the information we need. Thank you again.
02. Stretch Goal UPDATE!
We UNLOCKED the Location Reference Guide! You’ll now have even more opportunities to explore the intricacies of Din’Lux.
Up next we do have a set of Research Cards for Kinfire Council. Now, what are Research Cards you may ask? Research cards may gain your resources, allow you to cast votes, or even grant one of your workers temporary skills. They can be gained by each player at various locations throughout the city and are usually played on a player's turn to cause a variety of effects. Here’s an example:
Note: This card is still in prototype form and may be subject to change.
03. Tiered Game Board
Now onto what you may have been waiting for, based on the title of this update, one of the parts of this game I’m personally most excited about: The Tiered Game Board.
Note: This is a render of the older prototype board we have, the art and locations have been shifted since then and are subject to change.
You’ve seen the factual information and the board’s representation on the Kickstarter page, but let me tell you all my biased perspectives and what I personally love about this addition to the game.
Mechanics and Theme Integration: I love the enhanced table presence that is thematic and functional. The different tiers help remind you of the taxes required for visiting higher locations and create a thematic atmosphere as your illustrated worker chits visit the various locations in the cliffside city. You might even recognize some locations from our previous games.
Multi-Function Ability: Nothing is more satisfying than a game box that includes a place for everything. In addition to being thematic and affecting gameplay, the tiered tray also doubles as component storage to make sure that every inch of space in this box has a purpose.
Player Guidance: In terms of gameplay, there are many locations you can visit and the city tiers have done wonders in my own decision-making in this game. You can easily take a look at the coins you have and clearly see what parts of the city you’re able to visit. Then you can further process if it’s worth paying taxes for some of those higher tier locations or if you can make do with the 8 locations in the base tier that are free to visit. The visual guidance for decision-making here I think will do wonders to help players navigate the information in Kinfire Council.
Just LOOK at it! Ah, I’m so excited.
With that said, I’m curious what games of yours have the best table presence, or even a tiered board? I’ve played over a thousand board games and I’m always keen to find new and innovative aspects that I can fall in love with, so if you have recommendations, please let me know in the comments!
04. Reminders
If you have a specific question or want more information that you haven't been able to find either leave a comment on the page of email our customer service at [email protected]
I’ll be around during my work hours (7:30AM-3:30PM PST), so if you’re waiting for a response thank you for your patience and I’ll certainly do my best to help you in any capacity that I can.
Join our Discord! Kevin has shared a few cards from the game in our discussions, and it's another way to engage with our content and upcoming games.
This brings me to a close for our Day 2 update. If you wish to further support us, please share along information about our game, our Kickstarter page, and help get the word out for our campaign. Thank you to all the lovely humans who’ve been helping answer questions in the comments as well. It means a lot and helps a ton.
I hear Selen may be making an appearance tomorrow…
Until then,
Ilya
Update 47 - Kinfire Chronicles Reprint
almost 2 years ago
– Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 05:16:00 AM
tl;dr - Kinfire Chronicles: Night’s Fall has returned to Kickstarter! We’ve got a special errata pack for you along with some other great Kinfire games.
As mentioned in Update 46, we’ve been working on a reprint of Kinfire Chronicles: Night’s Fall. In the 2nd print, we’re going beyond errata fixes (and hopefully getting those axles right…) to make the story more accessible & easy to navigate with an Adventure book.
Additionally, we’re making the game available in both French and German, thanks to our partners (and serious gamers) at Geeky Pen.
You’ll find the Kinfire Chronicles (2nd Print) available as an add on and as part of the “Kinfire All In” rewards pledge for Kinfire Council, our latest game in the series.
Kinfire Council is a competitive strategy game of fantasy and politics for 2-6 players from designer Kevin Wilson. Each game lasts on average from 90 to 180 minutes, and the recommended age is 14+.
Here's a high overview of gameplay:
Select your Councilor and Seeker.
Send your workers into the city to collect resources.
Build lighthouses and upgrade locations.
Train your workers in new skills.
Vote on rules-changing decrees.
Defend the city from cultists and threats.
If the cult wins, the player with cult influence steals the victory.
We hope to see you back to support this new crowdfunding campaign. As a small thank you, we’re offering an Errata Pack for Kinfire Chronicles (1st Print) that includes 13 corrected cards and 7 stickers for map errors. While you’re there, we hope you’ll check out some of the other games in the Kinfire universe! But you can also get the Errata Pack on its own by selecting the $1 pledge manager reward tier and then the add-on.
Thank you again for supporting this project and helping us get to where we are today!
Update 46 - Kinfire Chronicles reprint announcement!
about 2 years ago
– Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 09:04:41 AM
Hi Everyone,
Today we shared some exciting announcements on BGG that Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall has sold out and that the reprint will be available (in French & German too) in the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Kinfire Council.
I wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for helping us get to this milestone as a studio. Supporting a studio like ours in the earliest days is not for everyone, but it each bit of support you've shown us has made such a huge difference in helping us make it here. Thank you for supporting independent creators & games!
Best, Jane "ahj00ma" Hoffacker

Hello Seekers!
Your enthusiasm, reviews, and shared experiences are lighting up our days. Please, keep those experiences coming!
Here is a small sampling of standout content from our community that captured our attention last month:
[BGG] Tommywolf’s review on BoardGameGeek. A personal and unfiltered review after their initial game session. A fantastic resource to give your playgroup a taste of what's to come. Quote: "This might not be a professional review, but I really needed to vent a bit about how great this game feels and looks and plays."
[BGG] Nomine Ignoto’s review on BoardGameGeek. Another gem from BGG, Nomine Ignoto's review provides a comprehensive overview of the game and offers an analytical perspective on the mechanics. Quote: "For mechanical reasons I don't want to spoil, there can't be a direct bolt-on expansion to this game, but how refreshing to have a game that's a satisfying, self-contained journey with an inviting beginning, brisk middle, and incredibly satisfying end."
[YT] Co-Op Guild’s playthrough of Quest 2. Join Steve and Kim as they play as Khor and Naz. In this video they play through Q2, which introduces adventuring and thrusts players into an intense battle. It’s entertaining to watch and they provide great insight into their strategy throughout.
[YT] Meet Me at the Table’s playthrough of Quest 4. Catch Bairnt and Collin’s lighthearted and fun-to-watch playthrough of Q4! It’s a great peek at what lies ahead after the introductory portion of the game. They also offer some insights on Deck Building that are useful to veterans and new players.
Every share, review, and video enriches this community and helps the studio. We welcome your thoughts, tips, and reviews on BoardGameGeek or in the Incredible Dream discord channel. We're looking forward to more!

02. COMING SOON: KINFIRE DELVE
We’re continuously developing the world of Kinfire. Last year, we brought you a webtoon series (9.7 rated and getting close to 1 million views!). This year, we made our world bible available online.
This fall, we’re proud to introduce KINFIRE DELVE, a new standalone game series in the world of Atios.
Fusing tactical play with a touch of press-your-luck, this rewarding cooperative dungeon delving experience is coming to your favorite local game store. Learn more about the game here.
We brought a copy of the game with us to Gen Con. Among the many comments were remarks about the game’s high production value:
110 gorgeously illustrated cards on black-core with premium finishes (think: linen, gold-foil, and spot UV)
4 custom D6 dice
1 D10 health tracker
38 progress tokens
1 rulebook, and
1 thick game box with a lid that’s printed on the inside for use as a dice tray.
And, you read right, this will be a game series. In 2024, we’re planning additional boxes of Delve that you can mix and match for new challenges or to expand player count.
Boundless Stride takes place in the Denlands, an all-new fantasy world, and it features an innovative movement mechanic that we can’t wait to show you.
Digital map packs were delivered on Jul 31. If you haven't received yours, please reach out to help@incredibledream.
Audio Narration. If you ordered an upgrade kit (premium pledge level) then your code is printed on a business-card-sized paper inside your upgrade kit. If you purchased it as an add on, you would have received the code digitally through BackerKit's digital file delivery service. If you are having an issue in the app itself, you can email [email protected] and include the name of the game, your email address connected to your Forteller account, and the redemption code you received.
In the coming weeks, we’ll share interviews with Katarzyna “Kate” Redesiuk (Art Director) and Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz (Narrative & World Building). Sign up for our newsletter at kinfirechronicles.com to get notified!
