Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action cards — Players play out cards for basic actions like moving, shooting, or picking up items, and for effects like healing.
- Character progression — Character boards start empty and are upgraded over time by adding more and more things, making them unique.
- cooperative play — The legacy part is fully cooperative, and the co-op aspect is very challenging. There's a lot of table talk and back and forth to help each other out.
- Deck Building — Players add cooler cards to their deck in scenarios, or if they die, they scratch off cards and add worse cards to their deck. There's a potential for deck building mid-game.
- Dice Rolling — Used for actions like attacking, where players roll dice to see the result.
- exploration — Moving to undiscovered rooms triggers entries that lead to reading paragraphs and potentially revealing new tiles. Players can use a scanner to discover new things in a room.
- legacy — Involves adding stickers to a rulebook with new rules, opening envelopes with secrets, and ripping open boxes to find new things. The legacy part is fully cooperative.
- scenario-based play — The game features multiple scenarios with distinct objectives and story progression.
- Scratch-off Mechanics — Scratch-off action cards and scratch-off weapon cards are used. If a weapon malfunctions, a part is scratched off, potentially losing a life point.

- Bad Bunnies.
- It was it was it was really it was cute. I enjoyed that one.
- Do you expect any more Kinfire Delve sets to be produced?
- I don't expect any more to be produced, but I you know, and I can't even say that I want more to be produced. I'm very happy with what we have, and I like it. I think there's so much variety already. I don't need more. But if they produced it, I'd buy it because I'm a sucker and that's what I do.
- the biggest thing that I I think still shocks me sometimes is how small the industry is. It is still very um just a bunch of friends in a lot of time in a lot of ways, you know?
- It's um in a it's a well-established industry that still has that young excitement and and kind of um um, blood in it and I I I really like that.
