Agents of Fate is a role-playing board game that sees you and your friends taking the role of action movie archetypes competing to be the main character and complete your set of challenges before the rest of the party. In Agents of Fate, the players work together to direct AND perform a heist flick, superspy thriller, crime drama, or summer blockbuster!
Our mechanics don’t slow you down with crunching numbers or hold you to strict, realistic simulations: the aim is to recreate the over-the-top stunts and breakneck choreography of such films as The Raid: Redemption, Bullet Train, and the John Wick saga. We also aim to force you to think on your feet and make things up as you go, providing tools for retroactive storytelling and rewriting the scenario a la Glass Onion and Everything Everywhere All At Once. The rules are light enough to be pick-up-and-play, and loose enough for a group to sit down and throw quick counters, shaky explanations, and ad hoc trump cards back and forth for a fun one-shot.
The storytelling method employed in Agents of Fate cares just as much about the “negative space” in the narrative as the things the players have already portrayed “on-screen”. If there’s ever a moment where the details haven’t been explicitly nailed down, players can cash in one of a pre-determined about of Flashbacks to go back and change things around to their own benefit: anything from smuggling in a piece of crucial gear, to stealing a MacGuffin from another player while they were distracted, to inventing a relationship with another character from whole cloth. If you don’t have an ace up your sleeve, or if you think a certain twist would recontextualize the story’s events in a compelling way, just make it up on the spot!
