Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan – Kin of the Wild is an expansion for Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan released in 2025 for 1–4 players and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Gordon Calleja and Christian Paller and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Role Playing.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure in Kin of the Wild, where the frozen lands of Northern Kaan await. This expansion introduces Pets—animal companions that fight, explore, and grow with you. These creatures aren’t just tagalongs—they’re mini-characters with their own unique Pet boards, abilities, action dice, and beautifully detailed miniatures. Your journey takes you to the snow-swept harbor city of Katafygia. The shaman of a forest clan has been kidnapped, and the Kartaçöl Empire’s presence in the region is growing stronger by the day. Fearing an invasion of their forest homeland, the council has sent you to investigate. But you won’t be facing these dangers alone. Your loyal animal companions will be at your side, offering both strength and wisdom as you uncover the dark forces at work in the North. Along with the introduction of Pets, this expansion brings even more depth to your adventures with two new factions, each more unpredictable and deadly than before, with new leader ability decks to keep you on your toes. Explore fresh terrain with two new floorplan sets—forest and wooden interiors—along with additional story scene tiles to keep the narrative fresh and dynamic. You’ll also discover new rest locations, weapons, and items to aid in your journey. Whether you’re a fan of deep strategy, rich narrative, or tactical combat, Kin of the Wild offers an exciting new chapter filled with new mechanics and immersive storytelling. —description from the publisher
