Destinies: Bound By Fate is an expansion for Destinies released in 2020 for 1–4 players, 90–150 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Tile Placement, and Storytelling.
In Bound by Fate you'll be joined by a fellow player, forming a team and sharing a common Destiny. Together you will fight against time and a second pair of players. Play smart, and share quests and items to explore the world faster than your opponents. The team that manages to cooperate better and fulfill their Destiny faster wins. The Bound by Fate add-on allows you to experience all scenarios from the Destinies base game, Sea of Sand expansion, and Myth & Folklore expansion in a new 2 vs 2 game mode. It does not add any scenarios but contains the physical elements you need to play with a 4th player.
Destinies: Bound By Fate supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Destinies: Bound By Fate is 90–150 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Destinies: Bound By Fate for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
