What to do (takes ~2 minutes):

The Journey Continues

Thank You, Travelers!  

We’re grateful to everyone who backed, shared, commented, asked questions, and helped shape the campaign along the way.

Because of your support, the final version of Hands of Fate will include two additional Fates, upgraded components, the Book of Fates digital companion, and the velvet interior upgrade for the collector-style packaging.

We did not quite reach the final Dark Path Mode goal, but we loved seeing the interest in that idea. It may still help shape where Hands of Fate goes next, and we’ll be listening closely when we send out the post-campaign survey.

What happens next:

Kickstarter is now collecting pledges. After that, we’ll prepare the pledge manager, where you’ll be able to confirm your reward, provide shipping information, and make any available add-on selections.

We’ll keep you updated as we move into production and fulfillment.

For now

Thank you again for helping bring Hands of Fate to life! 

We’re excited to continue the journey from here.

The Fates Have More to Offer
about 1 month ago – Wed, Jun 24, 2026 at 11:09:23 AM

Hands of Fate has grown! Thanks to your support, new stretch goals have been unlocked, and every backer will now receive more than when the campaign began.

Now included for Hands of Fate backers.

The Book of Fates is now unlocked!

This 12-page digital companion explores each Fate’s light, shadow, and motives – helping you understand them as archetypes in your everyday life. 

Each Fate receives its own page, with examples drawn from ancient figures, familiar stories, and real-life patterns: the protector who becomes controlling, the healer who mistakes dependence for love, the conqueror who mistakes force for destiny.

And the Fates may not be finished yet...

Where the standard journey explores what may shape your path, Dark Path Mode focuses on what could complicate it: the missteps, temptations, costs, and hidden risks that may be waiting ahead.  The Fates become more ruthless, and they use Shadow Tokens to amplify the dangers of the journey.   

Help us unlock Dark Path Mode!  You can help by upgrading your pledge, adding a reward or add-on, or sharing Hands of Fate with someone who might enjoy a tarot game with hidden roles and meaningful choices.  Here's a quick link: https://h1.nu/1xGkp

New Video Guide: Solo Mode
about 1 month ago – Wed, Jun 17, 2026 at 06:38:29 AM

Because You Asked

Several of you asked to see Hands of Fate in action, and many of you are especially curious about Solo Mode. So we created a quick guide that walks through every phase of a solo journey.

Take a look:

From Reading to Reflection

Solo play found a real home with Mystic Crossroads, our previous tarot experience. According to our post-campaign survey, it became the most common way to play – and the Solo Journey Kit became our most popular add-on afterward.

Now Hands of Fate has a Solo Journey Kit of its own: a nautical journal, quill pen with ink, and LED candle for recording insights and creating a more immersive solo experience – all for $25.

To add it:

  1. Click Manage your pledge
  2. Select Change your pledge
  3. Add the Solo Journey Kit

Give your solo journeys a place to continue:

Help Another Traveler Find the Path

The Two of Cups, from Tarot of the Crossroads – a card of connection and shared paths  

You found the path – well done!  Now let's bring someone with you.

For all backers at the core game or higher who share the campaign, we’re offering a compass-themed necklace / first player token. You choose how to use it.

Participation is simple:

  • Share the campaign anywhere your people gather – Reddit, Discord, social media, a tarot group, a gaming group, or wherever it feels right.  You can create your own post, use our IG post, or share this image.
  • Take a screenshot or photo of your share.
  • Send it: Google users can upload here; others can email here. (DM us with any issues.)

There's no drawing. No isolated winner. Everyone who shares receives the compass alongside their game.

Help us bring more Travelers to the path – share the campaign and claim your compass.
