Hand of Fate: Ordeals – Special Edition (Kickstarter Exclusive)

🃏 Step into the Game of Life and Death – Hand of Fate: Ordeals

"Be seated, Adventurer." Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, Hand of Fate: Ordeals is the definitive tabletop adaptation of the hit multi-platform video game. This Special Edition is the ultimate version of the game, packing in expanded content and high-quality components that were originally only available to Kickstarter backers.

Blending deck-building, dungeon crawling, and strategic board movement, Ordeals captures the eerie, atmospheric tension of facing off against the Dealer. Whether you are playing competitively to gain the most Fame or teaming up in a deep Cooperative Campaign, your fate lies in the cards you draw.

What Makes the Special Edition Essential?

The Special Edition includes a wealth of gameplay variety not found in the standard retail release:

• Exclusive New Game Modes: Challenge yourself with Endless Mode, test your skills in Hard Mode, or take control of the deck in the unique Dealer Mode.
• The Royalty Expansion Included: This edition comes packed with the Royalty Expansion, adding 3 new Solo/Cooperative campaigns, 48 new Skill and Equipment cards, and 17 new Encounter cards featuring the "Chance" mechanic.
• Expanded Bestiary & Bosses: Face off against new minions like Lava Golems, Mages, and the Minotaur, culminating in a final showdown with the terrifying new boss: The Lich.
• Upgraded Components: Features premium wooden tokens for Food and Health, a metal "Kingslayer" coin to track the player who defeats the final boss, and the unique "Pain Die."
• Advanced Card Mechanics: Introduces new strategic layers with Linger, Bargain, and Multi-Archetype cards that allow for complex deck synergies.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Deck-Building Adventure: Start with a basic deck and acquire powerful Relics, Weapons, and Spells as you explore the modular map.
• The F.E.A.R. System: Manage your turn through Fatigue, Explore, Acquire, and Rest. Every step requires food, and every battle requires preparation.
• Innovative Combat Binding: Bind attack cards to your weapons to build Power, but you must spend Effort each turn to maintain your "Combat Readiness."
• Stunning Stained-Glass & Tarot Art: Featuring the same iconic art style as the video game, with cards that overlap on your player board to show your character physically "equipping" armor and items.
