Gloom of Kilforth / Shadows of Kilforth
Interesting exploration driven game. you face off against a nemesis whom you must track down by collecting cards with certain keywords which you gain by exploring from location to location and interacting with event cards from the corresponding deck for that location.
each nemesis has a different set of objectives to complete and the card based location grid is randomised each game so there's a lot of replayability but there's also very little actual story outside of the way your actions unfold.
has some interesting mechanics with locations falling into gloom and becoming dangerous places to finish your turn as the land slowly decays around you.
quite a table hog but everything has its place. pretty quick to setup and put away.
pros:
unique game with interesting keyword collection mechanics
interesting challenges posed by action economy and changing landscape
gradual power curve, you get more powerful as you progress so challenges have different heft as you move through game.
cons:
not much story to speak of other than general story plot
replayable but with lots of repetition.
