PRE-ORDER - Medium: The Hand of Fate

Medium: The Hand of Fate is a mind-reading party game where intuition, timing, and a little supernatural luck can lead you to victory.

On your turn, team up with the player on your left. Your partner plays a word card, then you choose one from your hand. Study the two words and try to discover the idea that connects them.

When you are both ready, count down together:

THREE… TWO… ONE…

Say the Medium at the same time!

Match on your first attempt to earn a Mind Meld token worth 5 or 6 points. If your answers differ, use those answers as the clues for a second attempt worth 3 or 4 points. You have one final chance to connect your new answers and earn 1 or 2 points.

You cannot repeat a word that has already been used during the turn, so think carefully before you speak.

Once you have mastered the basic game, add the optional modules for new challenges and more player interaction.

Use powerful Extra Special Power cards to influence the game. Banish a word your opponents might say with Incantation, or use Divination to claim another team’s missed opportunity.

With the Prediction module, players who are not involved in the current turn secretly predict whether the active team will match on its first attempt. Predict correctly to earn Hand of Fate tokens and add bonus points to your team scores.

The special two-player variant lets you and a partner test your psychic connection against the mysterious Madame Fortuna. Every failed first attempt gives her points, so you will need to stay perfectly in sync to defeat her.

When the Crystal Ball card is drawn, finish the current round and total your points. The team with the highest score wins.

Proper nouns and multi-word answers are allowed, provided they express a single idea.

Medium: The Hand of Fate is fully compatible with the original Medium. Combine cards and compatible content from both games to create more clues, more surprising connections, and even more mind-reading possibilities.
