    I enjoyed the cardboard games aspects. Great flavour and atmosphere in that part and has some fun mechanics. Where it gets dragged down for me is the combat. After a little while it feels repetitive and clunky. Still worth playing.

    I haven't finished this game

    At first this game is really enternaining. So many different cards and stories. But the combat is weak and repetetive so after some time, even if story drags you in, combat make this game very boring.

    Very original combination of categories. Unfortunelly it gets monotonous preety quickly.

    Similar to the first game, but with the addition of new items, stories and mechanics. Unfortunately, given how similar it is to the first one, I lost interest before finishing it.

    Unfortunately, sequel kept some of the problems. The major one is how luck-dependent the progress is, especially when it comes to food: if you don’t get an encounter with a trader in time, you’ll die of hunger, but if you meet him too early, when you don’t have money to spare – again, starvation it is. If you get robbed at the market... well, you get the idea. [Issue#226, p.55]

    I’m really glad that the developers decided to create a sequel, as they learned a lot and managed to improve every element of the original game, including the campaign which evolved into a really thought-out, demanding adventure. [01/2018, p.40]

    Hand of Fate 2 is certainly a much more improved product over the original. Upgraded presentation aside, there's more of a story to back up the game, so you're given a purpose instead of playing The Dealer's game just for the sake of it. Combat may not have improved much, but everything else has, making for a deeper journey even if luck spoils things now and again. Even without the upcoming extras, Hand of Fate 2 is worth checking out.
