Latest Updates from Our Project:
New Kilforth Solo Adventures Await — Night of Wolves & Ruined Path Now Live!

Hello heroes of Kilforth!
We’re jumping in with a quick message because our new project has just launched on Kickstarter — and given how many of you love atmospheric, story-driven adventures, we thought you might want to take a look.
Night of Wolves
A fast, narrative solo game played with a deck of oversized illustrated encounter cards. Choose from three cards based on the artwork alone, reveal the story, make your decision, and face the consequences. 20–40 minutes per run, branching paths, deadly bosses, and a haunting journey through an accursed wilderness.
Ruined Path
A compact, Kilforth-inspired solo deck-builder where you battle escalating Threats, upgrade your hero, and face one of several modular bosses. Think tight decision-making, push-your-luck card play, and a lot of replayability in a very small box.
Both games are fully designed, illustrated, and ready for print, and the campaign has already been awarded Kickstarter’s “Project We Love” badge.
(No pressure, of course — just sharing in case it’s your kind of thing!)
Ricky Royal Preview
And finally, here's the great Ricky Royal from Box of Delights to tell you why you might like to take a look:
Thank you, as always, for supporting our work and helping us keep making these worlds and stories. We couldn’t do it without you.

Hello there!
Hall or Nothing Vault Sale – Stock Clearance (US/Canada)
We’re doing something a little different this month — and we wanted to share it with you, our long-time backers and supporters. After 10 successful Kickstarter campaigns and years of adventuring in Kilforth, fighting impossible odds in Malta, marching into battle in 1066, and wandering the Veil… it’s time for us to say farewell to some of the games that brought us here. So we’ve just launched a new Kickstarter Vault Sale, clearing the last remaining stock of our classic games and expansions from our US warehouse — including:
💀 Gloom of Kilforth
🌒 Shadows of Kilforth
🧙 Call of Kilforth
👻 Veilwraith
🗡️ 1066, 1565, and more...
You may notice the pricing in this campaign is significantly discounted. That’s deliberate. These are the last Kickstarter copies, already printed and stored in our US warehouse before the tariffs hit. Rather than send them off to clearance or let them sit in storage indefinitely, we’re offering them directly to our US/Canada community — at a gigantic discount, and with no customs or import hassle. This Vault Sale is a way for us to make the most of existing stock, make room for the next chapter (👀 Sublime Dark), and help new players discover what you’ve helped us build.
Want to Join In?
The Vault Sale runs for a limited time and is open to US and Canada only (due to warehouse location). If that’s you — or someone you know missed out on our earlier games — here’s the link:
If you’re based elsewhere, we’re also running a parallel international sale via our webstore with a 30% discount code: HONKICK25 https://hallornothing.net
And finally...
From the Archives: #BoardChitless Episode 64 - Viticulture Club. This week Leki, Tristan, Daz and Ant take off their shoes and stomp their way to victory playing "Viticulture"; the classic winemaking themed worker placement euro from Stonemaier Games...
Thanks again for walking this road with us — whether you backed just one project or all ten, you made these games real. This little farewell campaign is a way to honour that.
With gratitude, Tristan & Francesca Hall or Nothing Productions
PS. Stay tuned for more info on Wyvern Moor, the sequel to Kreel Manor, coming soon...

Hello there,
Well this is it, we've finally come to the end of another epic journey together – thank you so much for being a part of all of this. Your lovely messages of support as well as your spreading the good word about our games are what keep us going. Our commitment has always been to continue delivering epic, high quality, and unique games on a par with the best out there. And early feedback on the game and Artbook has been amazing, with many people pointing out that Call of Kilforth is the most beautiful Hall or Nothing game so far. We also welcome all the people new to the world of Kilforth – watching you dive in has been incredibly rewarding. The Artbook was something completely new to us, but it seems to have gone down an absolute treat, and we're absolutely delighted with it. :)
Fulfilment should finally be complete at this stage, so if you are still waiting for your package, now is the time to email Gamesquest directly and raise a ticket if you haven't already. If you have already raised a ticket, and Gamesquest have not replied to you within 14 days, email them again and CC us in ([email protected]) and we will personally chase this up for you with our account manager.
How to Play Call Of Kilforth with The Meeple Marathon
If you're wondering how to get started with all of this Kilforth business, this video is a great way in:
And that's all for now! If you haven't already, we hope you'll join us on our next journey into the misty lands of Kilforth, this time into its deadly underbelly with our Dungeon Crawl Card Game, Kreel Manor:
And if you want something a little different, our bleakest, nastiest game yet is threatening the horizon. Although we warn you now, Sublime Dark is not for everybody...
Cheers, and have a super Christmas and/or happy holidays – we hope you get to play tons of games with your friends and family or alone, and that you're safe, happy, and well fed!

Hello there,
The parcels are landing finally, and we have a tonne of community content to share with you below – thanks to everyone for posting up pics and videos and sharing the news on the webs, and please be sure to rate the game on BGG if you haven't already. :)
Fulfilment Ongoing!
US/Canada – fulfilment is well underway, if not completed already.
Australia/EU/UK/RoW – fulfilment is either beginning or already underway.
Asia – fulfilment is underway, but some countries take much longer than others to reach unfortunately.
In all cases, if you haven't received your parcel by the end of November contact us to chase it up for you: [email protected]
'I love the additions... the ships are awesome, the ocean locations are so cool – the art is the best in the series' – the lovely Colin from Meet Me At The Table, alumni of One Stop Coop Shop, has lots of nice things to say about #CallOfKilforth:
'Hall or Nothing have the most incredible artwork, really maybe of any board games out there' – All Games New and Old enjoying their Call of Kilforth Unboxing:
Combining Call of Kilforth with other Kilforth games
You can find all of our rulebooks at the link below. The file you're looking for is 'Shadows of Kilforth Variants Sheet' and the section on COMBINING KILFORTH GAMES – just choose to use either the Badlands or Ocean locations.
That said, if you'd like to use both Badlands and Ocean location types you could add an extra 5 Ocean locations (don't use Blood Seas) to one edge of the map as a 'coastline'. The Oceans wouldn't be referenced by card effects because you'd be using the Night tokens to identify reward/night card locations, but you can still sail the high seas and have encounters there too. :)
This is a fun game mode for veteran players that we didn't manage to squeeze in before printing, but which we'll maybe roll out for future print runs – feel free to use it in any of your Kilforth games:
Setup: Rimeshore Port (or any other City) is in the middle of the Map as normal. The other 24 locations are concealed: shuffle and place them beneath an Explore card (use any playing card) in a stack. Whenever a hero moves/relocates to a concealed location, draw from the base of the stack to reveal the location, and add Resources/Ships/Plots as required. Shortcuts, maps, discovered rewards, finales, Ancient assaults, etc. are unavailable until their relevant locations are revealed. Night cards placed into concealed locations are instead placed in a revealed location, First Hero’s choice.
Deluxe or Pimp
Some of you missed this from the December update so here's a reminder about the deluxe expansion names:
We've listened to you all, so thanks for your comments. We're sensitive to people's opinions and thoughts on the topic. Many people are happy with the Pimp My brand and many would prefer the Deluxe brand. We've already printed a run of expansions called Pimp My Shadows and Pimp My Gloom, so those will keep the same name for this print run and delivery, but moving forward we will update both of these expansions to the Deluxe brand in future print runs, including Deluxe Call, which is going to print now. As has been pointed out numerous times, those deluxe components will likely be mixed into your base games straight away in any case.
Don't forget, you can listen at your leisure to the full Kilforth sound track from our very own and very lovely Francesca L Hall via our youtube channel here:
