About the game
New expansions bring deeper strategy and enhanced deduction to a game that asks one not-so-simple question — can you hide in plain sight? The Tribunal expansions supercharge both the strategy & deduction in Veiled Fate. The Hadria expansion is focused on introducing more strategic variables to the game and adds a new miniature, renown tracker, and favor cards. The Celestials expansion is focused on introducing more deduction and misdirection to the game and adds a new miniature, renown tracker, spell cards, and 7 celestial cards. The Servants expansion adds 3 new miniatures and cards. Servants can be commanded by all players. The Renewal Dice replaces the permanent 'refresh card' effect that normally activates in the Pools, creating more dynamic gameplay and ever-shifting strategies surrounding how players use the Abyss.
