    Imagine that you're a supercomputer. Now imagine that you're bored. So you dream up a little contest for you and a couple of your supercomputing buddies. Your task is to move one of the stupid little robots out on the factory floor through a series of checkpoints scattered throughout the factory. The wrinkle, however, is that the factory floor is filled with all kinds of inconvenient (if not down-right deadly) obstacles located in various locations: conveyor belts, crushers, flame-throwers, pushers, teleporters, oil slicks, pits, et cetera. But the real fun comes when the robots cross each other's path, and suddenly your perfect route is something less than that...

Designed by Luke Laurie, illustrated by Ciro Marchetti, this game won the 2012 Polycon Polyprize for excellence in game design. Stones of Fate consists of 78 cards and 20 stones in four colors. Each game uses only a subset of the 78 card deck so no two games are ever the same. Stones of Fate is played with a 9 card spread laid face down on the table. Players compete to try to win these cards by placing stones next to "zones" on the cards' borders. Each player takes two actions on their turn. These can be any combination of Peek at a card, Place or Move one of their own stones, Flip over a card to determine who wins it. Certain cards also have special abilities that activate when they are flipped or when they are won. These can really drive the strategy of the game. With these additional abilities you can give negative value cards to your opponents, win extra cards on your turn, or even re-arrange your opponent's fate stones!
