Stones of Fate

About this board game

Stones of Fate is a strategy game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. In this game of skill, memory, and luck, hidden cards hold the powers that can shape your destiny.

Players use stones to position themselves around the concealed cards, then choose their actions carefully. The goal is to flip cards at the right moment, activate their powers, and win them for the points they provide.

Each choice can reveal information, change the position of a stone, or bring a hidden card into play. The three available actions are:

• Peek at a card to gather information.
• Move a stone to improve your position.
• Flip a card to activate it.

Using these actions wisely is the key to turning limited information into an advantage. Memory can help you track what lies hidden, while careful stone placement can prepare you to claim the cards you want.

Cards can also create unexpected shifts in fortune. Special effects may trigger when you win a card or when you flip one, giving you an advantage or thwarting your opponents’ plans. These effects make timing important and ensure that every reveal can affect the course of the game.

In Stones of Fate, success comes from balancing observation, positioning, and opportunistic play. Bring fortune to yourself, create trouble for your foes, and use the hidden cards to pursue the points needed to win.
