Fate of Witches: Master Dark Magic, Build Your Coven, Seize Power!

Don't miss your chance to join the Kickstarter campaign!

 

In the cursed village of Black Hollow, the night is thick with fear, and the air smells of burning wood and flesh.

The Grand High Witch, ruler of the secretive Council of Witches, has mysteriously perished. Her death has left a power vacuum, and the witches are now locked in a bitter struggle, each vying to be her successor. But only one can claim the title of Grand High Witch, and the path to victory is fraught with peril. As villagers whisper of dark omens and strange disappearances, panic spreads like wildfire. The Witch Hunter, armed with ruthless conviction and aided by his loyal Hound, is on the prowl. No witch is safe.

In this world of treachery, dark magic, and blood oaths, you must rise above the others. As a powerful head witch, you are tasked with building the most formidable coven, securing forbidden relics, and mastering ancient spells. But the Witch Hunter's eyes are everywhere, and betrayal lurks in the shadows.
 
Will you be the one to seize power and reign supreme, or will your dreams of grandeur turn to ash?

Welcome to Fate of Witches —a chilling, strategic card game where dark forces collide and survival is anything but guaranteed.

 

A Race Against Time and Suspicion

 

In Fate of Witches, players take on the role of ambitious witches, each attempting to build the most powerful coven in the village while evading the deadly Witch Hunter.

The game is played over several rounds, with each player recruiting strange and powerful characters, collecting magical items, and casting dark spells to gain an advantage. Every decision is a risk, and one wrong move could end in capture, trial, or worse—execution by fire.

The tension rises as the Witch Hunter moves through the village, uncovering secrets and hunting down anyone suspected of practicing witchcraft. 

Will you have the wits and cunning to outsmart him? 

Will your rivals sabotage your plans, or will they fall prey to their own ambition?

Strategize, Sacrifice, and Survive

 

In Fate of Witches, strategy is key.
 
The game features a dynamic coven-building system, where you’ll need to carefully select which characters to recruit to your side.
 
Each character comes with unique abilities and attributes that can drastically change the flow of the game. Some characters can be sacrificed, unlocking dark powers in the Graveyard that can turn the tide in your favor. But beware—each sacrifice comes with a cost, and the path to victory is paved with the bones of your fallen allies.
 
As you recruit more witches to your coven, you'll also gather mystical items and tokens that can boost your score or enhance your abilities.
 
Magical artifacts such as enchanted cauldrons, cursed amulets, and forbidden tomes can give you the upper hand, but only if you use them wisely.
 
Timing is everything, and knowing when to cast a spell or perform a ritual can be the difference between triumph and downfall.

The Power of Sacrifice

 

Not all cards are meant to last.

In the world of Fate of Witches, power often requires sacrifice. Some of the most powerful abilities in the game are unlocked by sending your witches to the Graveyard. When a character is sacrificed, they flip over, revealing their Graveyard value and unlocking new powers. Their Blessed or Cursed tokens also flip, altering their effect and potentially swinging the game in your favor. This mechanic adds a grim layer of strategy to the game—sometimes, the only way forward is to betray those who serve you.

By sacrificing characters, you not only increase your score but also open new pathways to powerful combos.
 
Each decision to sacrifice must be weighed carefully—will the short-term gain be worth the long-term cost?
 
Will the dark magic unleashed by your sacrifice propel you to victory, or will it mark the beginning of your downfall?

Build Your Coven, Build Your Power

 

Fate of Witches revolves around its unique engine-building mechanics. Players draft characters from the Village Deck, each with distinct abilities—some excel in spells, others in stealth or force.

Balancing your coven’s strengths is essential for victory. As the game progresses, powerful combos emerge, giving you the upper hand or shielding you from the Witch Hunter’s pursuit. Along the way, gather magical items like the Enchanted Cauldron or Witch’s Amulet, but be cautious—each item has a cost.

A Village on Edge Tension fills the game’s atmosphere, with the Witch Hunter constantly on your trail.

Each round presents new threats and opportunities through the Night Event Deck, which adds unpredictability. Will you find aid or face a deadly curse? As suspicion grows, the Witch Hunter draws closer, forcing every move to be more critical.

 

Endless Replayability and Strategic Depth

 

With 60 unique cards, every game is different, offering endless challenges and strategies. The drafting mechanic and changing events keep players on edge. Easy to learn but hard to master, Fate of Witches promises an engaging experience for all players, whether solo or with friends.
