Our Take
We love that members of the Fable development team set out to make their own collectible card game using the Fable IP and that Microsoft allowed them to do it. However, with the CCG genre being so competitive now, especially as Elder Scrolls Legends and Gwent are cementing their places, we worry that this one may get overlooked. We hope it offers unique gameplay and challenges to attract a dedicated fanbase. If rumors are true and Microsoft is reviving the Fable IP, it would certainly be interesting if Fable Fortune eventually tied into the rebooted main game.
