A new kind of deduction game
2-8 Players | 60-120 Minutes
Discover strategic deduction
A unique combination of strategy and social deduction for anyone who loves table-talk. Use strategic positional play and secret voting to influence the fate of 9 demigods. Discern the motives behind your opponents moves to unravel their plans, while cementing your own.
"IV Studio refer to Veiled Fate as a 'strategic deduction' game and frankly... they nailed it! We had a great time. I seriously cannot wait to play this game over and over again with friends and family! It's gorgeous, plays perfectly, and is very approachable."
"I wasn't sure that my group would like it, but it was instantaneously a hit: great discussions, great laughs, very engaging, simple... just fun. I love it."
"This is clever. I'm pleasantly surprised by this game."
Veiled Fate in 120 Seconds
At the beginning of the game, each player is secretly assigned a demigod. This demigod is your offspring, kept secret from the other players until the end of the game.
As a celestial being, you have the power to command the movement of all nine demigods. Since the identity of your demigod is known only to you, use positional strategy and influence fate to ensure your heir ends the game with the most renown.
Using fate cards to secretly vote when completing quests allows you shape outcome in the way that's most advantageous for your demigod. At the end of the third age, the demigod with the most renown ascends to the throne. Will it be you?

Veiled Fate is such a masterpiece. It truly is the best mixing of social deduction and strategy you could have. The gameplay is simple like social deduction, but the strategy requires a depth of thinking on par with other strategy games. With enough twists and turns through Age and City Cards, the game isn't over until the very end. Having to balance secrecy with strategy is something that few other games have and something that Veiled Fate exceeds in.

Very simple to learn and quick go play, even with a group that notoriously exceeds recommended play times for other games. Games can often end with some surprising reveals! All of the components are top notch too!

It has all the positives of a hidden role, deduction game, without player elimination. First couple of plays have been a blast!

I can't recommend this game enough for any count of players. I've played it with both new gamers and veteran players, all amazing sessions. One of the best I've played this year.

Social deduction without any of the shouting and finger pointing. IV do a great job at creating a game that feels unique with tried and tested mechanisms.
Fabulous production. Fantastic at all player counts with it feeling different for each. They've absolutely nailed this one. This is my go to social deduction non party game.

Played at 2 players to give it a try. I feel this game is good from 3+ players, because then the moves and opportunities are more interesting!I definitely want to dig more into it!
Update: second play at 8 players. I wasn't sure that my group would like it, but it was instantaneously a hit: great discussions, great laughs, very engaging, simple.. just fun. I loved it. I updated to a 9.
