At Gen Con, Australian game publisher Rule & Make was sharing booth space with U.S. partner Passport Game Studio, to show off upcoming games Hand of Fate: Ordeals and Entropy: Worlds Collide.

Hand of Fate: Ordeals is a deck-building game based on the critically acclaimed Hand of Fate video game from Defiant Development. The game is a competitive deck-builder, but it also comes with a cooperative campaign.  Each turn, players travel around the map, fighting enemies, encountering characters, and gathering equipment and skills in hopes of acquiring enough power to defeat the Royals: the Jack, Queen, and King. The road is a perilous one, and players will die many times (and be sent back to start, losing all their equipment and skills back to their deck), but the fame they acquire lives on. Eventually someone will defeat the Royals and the game ends, but it’s the player that gained the most fame who wins the day.

The box contains, 4 player boards, a game board, 7 miniature figures, 80 starter cards, 64 market cards, 68 equipment cards, 17 relic cards, 41 encounter cards, 32 minion cards, 20 pain cards, 12 royal cards, 80 tokens and markers, a campaign book, and a rulebook. The game is for 2 – 4 players, ages 14 and up, and the game plays in about 2 hours. MSRP is $69.99. Release is planned for Q2 2018. Rule & Make funded production of the game with a Kickstarter in June 2017 which raise approximately $392,000 from 4,136 backers

Entropy: Worlds Collide is a bluffing game where players are characters from unique parallel worlds who have been dropped into the Nexus. Players must find the four shards of their shattered world, and reconstruct it before their opponents do. Each round, a player selects one of six hidden actions to take, but if two or more players reveal the same action, no one will be able to complete the action. However, players can use their character’s reset ability to rewind time and free up a previously played actions. There is also an Anchor, which, when controlled by a player, allows them to complete an action, even if an opponent also chooses that action.

The box contains, 7 character cards, 42 action cards, 24 reality shard cards, 3 wild shard cards, 1 anchor, a game board, and a rulebook. The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 30 minutes. MSRP is $19.99. Release is planned for Q4. Rule & Make funded production of the game with a Kickstarter in March 2017 which raise approximately $47,000 from 2,371 backers.
