Scales of Fate - Deluxe edition

Nine demigods walk the mortal world, each of them hungry for the favor of the gods. Two of them are secretly yours — but your rival moves all nine as well, and may even serve one of the same. Over three ages you lift some toward celestial glory and push others to the abyss, never revealing where your loyalty lies. Set in the Greek-myth-inspired world of Veiled Fate.

Game Mechanics

Scales of Fate is an intense strategic and deductive game for two players.

• Take turns placing demigod figures on the board and triggering the unique effect of each space.
• Open an opportunity for yourself at the right moment — or block your opponent.
• Spend one of your single-use god powers to bend the board to your will.
• Guess your opponent's two demigods at the end for bonus points.

Three rounds, dozens of tense decisions, and a single goal: score more points than your rival. Every choice has inevitable consequences. Can you tip the scales of fate in your favor?

What Makes It Special

Deduction usually needs a full table. Scales of Fate delivers it head-to-head: five minutes to teach, half an hour to play, and every single turn a mind game. A perfect plan can collapse on one misread — which is exactly why the box goes straight back on the table for another round. From IV Studios, distilled from their acclaimed Veiled Fate.
