About the game

What is Scales of Fate?

Scales of Fate is a 2-player deduction duel filled with heart-pounding mind games, set in the Veiled Fate universe. Guide the rise and fall of nine demigods. Send them on quests to seek favor with the gods or smite their rivals. Secretly pledge your allegiance to two demigods, scoring based on their shared position or the distance between them. There’s a catch: your opponent may share your allegiance to one (or both!) of the same demigods. After three rounds, correctly guess their demigods to gain extra points. Can you disguise your intentions and tip the Scales of Fate? —description from the publisher
