Hello from Spitfire Interactive, Thanks for checking out our fresh entry to the Hand of Fate series, whether you’re a new player or an old hand at the Dealer’s game.The support of players like you across the years is the reason we're here today. When Defiant Development closed its doors, we weren't sure we'd ever get the chance to return to this world. But the passion this community continued to show through reviews, fan art, discord discussions, and everyone who kept introducing new players to the games, never really went away. It reminded us that the world of Hand of Fate was still worth fig

We’re excited to reveal our latest project, Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure, which blends Hand of Fate’s deckbuilding cards to life universe with a frenetic auto-shooter. Choose your hero, your weapons and encounter cards, and embark on a series of escalating challenges against hordes of foes to help restore the Dealer’s dominion over his court, one card at a time. We’re thrilled to be returning to the world of Hand of Fate and expanding on this setting once again when Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure launches later in 2025.

Ten years ago the Thirteenth Gate opened for the first time and the Game of Life and Death began. Ten years of Hand of Fate. What an adventure it’s been, and what a decade has passed. Thank you all for being a part of the journey since then. When Hand of Fate launched we had no idea that it would help to establish roguelike deckbuilding as a genre, launch a board game, lead to a sequel, and inspire titles and developers that followed. Until we’d finished building it we didn’t really know what it was, or if anyone would care. It’s impossible to think about the release of Hand of Fate without th

We are very excited to announce that not only has the boardgame adaptation of Hand of Fate, HoF: Ordeals, hit Kickstarter, but it smashed its KS goal in less than six hours! Now that we’ve all had our morning coffees and shaken the disbelief out of our systems it’s time to reveal the first stretch goal - Goblins! If you’ve encountered goblins in Hand of Fate before, you know what to expect from them on the tabletop: they’re going to steal your equipment! If you manage to take them down, however, you’ll be very richly rewarded. Looking to future unlocks, there are a couple of addition encounter
