What players say

Players say Fortune & Famine is a quick 30-minute board game that is simple to pick up but has depth through unique ruler abilities and a luck-versus-skill tension around Famine cards. The bartering phase adds a social layer, and the game is frequently compared to 7 Wonders. There is no online multiplayer yet, only AI.
