About the game
The three reels are spinning, tension is rising ... Is this a new high score? It's not about the money, but rather you try to score more points than all the other players. But high numbers are not enough in FORTUNE as you also need the right bonus points for the victory. FORTUNE is a game for players prepared to take risks while chasing the next high score. You start a Fast Forward game without reading a rules booklet in advance! Just grab some fellow gamers and discover the rules while playing. The Fast Forward series uses the Fable Game system introduced in Fabled Fruit: With the presorted deck of cards, you will discover all cards and rules as you play. It will take 10-15 games of FORTUNE before your group has explored the entire system. It can then be reset and played again by the same or different groups! FORTUNE is the fourth and completely different game in the Fast Forward series!

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 Fast Forward: FORTUNE is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fast Forward: FORTUNE for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Fast Forward: FORTUNE has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
