The Hand of Destiny (2022)

About this game

Waves of minions accompany an evil monster ravaging the land in the Realm of Shadows. Fight off each wave and defeat the menacing final boss to bring light to the darkness! The Hand of Destiny is a no-table-needed, solo game played completely in your hands. You'll use your hero's limited strength resources and unique abilities to vanquish foes and move through the deck. Manage your health, upgrade your hero, and play cards as efficiently as possible to win the day.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
