The Game

Step right up and test your wits in FATE: The Carnivàle Game™. Based on the hit HBO® series Carnivàle(SM), FATE™ is a beautifully moody solitaire game played with Tarot cards. Choose from three bizarre carnie characters and challenge the Fortune Teller to a Tarot duel. Victory will grant you new cards that enhance your deck and reveal the dark secrets of your character's past and future. With evocative narrative scenes, rich period graphics, and an entire deck of Tarot cards to play with, FATE: The Carnivàle Game™ is squarely in your future.

The Design

Because FATE is essentially a digital card game, we had the luxury of prototyping the game off the computer, extensively tuning the rules and card powers, before implementing them in code. Maybe that’s why the core gameplay is so addictive! The visual flavor of the game, modeled on early circus photos and influenced by the HBO series, is darker than the usual Gamelab pop aesthetic.
