About the game

What you do in a play session

Gear up for an epic journey into the frozen lands of Northern Kaan with Kin of the Wild, the expansion that's about to supercharge your adventures in Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan! The big highlight here is the introduction of Pets, incredibly detailed animal companions that are far from mere tagalongs. These are full-fledged mini-characters, each with their own unique Pet boards, special abilities, action dice, and stunning miniatures. They'll fight alongside you, explore the unknown, and evolve as the campaign progresses, adding an extra layer of strategy and immersion. Your quest takes you to the mysterious harbor city of Katafygia, where a forest clan's shaman has been kidnapped and the Kartaçöl Empire's presence is growing stronger by the day. The local council, fearing an invasion, has sent you to investigate these dark forces threatening the region. But don't worry, you won't be facing these dangers alone! Your loyal Pets will be your steadfast allies, offering both brute strength and wisdom as you unravel the mysteries. Beyond the Pets, this expansion brings two new factions, each more unpredictable and deadly than the last, complete with fresh leader ability decks that promise to keep you on your toes. Explore new terrains with two new floorplan sets—dense forests and wooden interiors—along with additional story scene tiles that ensure a consistently fresh and dynamic narrative. And of course, get ready to discover new rest locations, weapons, and essential items for your journey. If you're a fan of rich storytelling, deep strategy, and tactical combat, Kin of the Wild promises an exciting new chapter, packed with innovative mechanics and a narrative that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
