## Description
Fast Forward: FORTUNE is a card game that blends speed, math, and bluffing into 15‑minute matches. The goal is simple: score more points than the others, but simply getting high numbers isn’t enough. Each turn features three spinning reels that reveal bonus cards that can change the game’s direction. While the reels spin, players decide whether to keep their current hand or trade cards, strategically managing options. The set‑collection mechanic kicks in when you try to complete card series that earn extra points. The game is designed to be learned on the fly: you don’t read a rulebook before starting. Instead, the rules unfold as you make early moves, which can be exciting or confusing for those not used to learning while playing. Fast Forward, the series to which FORTUNE belongs, uses the Fable Game system introduced in titles like Fabled Fruit. The deck is pre‑ordered, so each game offers a slightly different experience, and you can play the same setup many times with different groups. If you enjoy numeric challenges, betting, and a dash of bluff, this game promises hours of fun in small groups but requires patience to internalize the mechanics. In short, Fast Forward: FORTUNE is a quick, interactive, surprise‑filled experience that fits well into casual game nights.
