About the game
In the medieval fantasy-themed card game Fellowships of Fate, you explore the unknown southern island, then defeat various monsters and discover treasures from ancient civilizations. To do this, you must manage a hand of cards, using them to gain resources, collect adventure cards, and score points. At the end of the adventure, you each compare your journal to see who has performed better. Write the better journal, and you will be the most famous adventurer in the world! This version of Fellowships of Fate is revised from the 2019 release by WY Games, with Masato Uesugi and Tori Hasegawa participating as advisors. The game system has been adjusted to expand the player count from 3-4 to 2-5.

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 Fellowships of Fate is 45–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fellowships of Fate for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
