Great heroes don’t hang back and watch war unfold—they fight on the front lines. And in Might & Magic Fates, they evolve too! This cunning twist on trading-card games lets heroes gain powers over the course of a match (like vampirism, used to leech health from attacked foes). Assemble a deck of warriors, spells, and battlefield structures, and face opponents in quick, intense fights. May the mightiest hero win!

What we love: The clever resource system. Forget mana pools—the cards in your hand generate gold that determines your available power. Will you sacrifice your Wretched Ghoul to destroy the enemy’s Blademage, or hang onto your undead fighter so you have more gold next round? Spend wisely!

Quick tip: Watch for cards and abilities that steal initiative from your opponent, like the Crusader Sergeant or Rally Flag. They’ll deal a decisive blow when an adversary least expects it!

Meet the creator: The Might & Magic series debuted in 1986 on computers like the classic Apple II. Global game giant Ubisoft has been publishing Might & Magic games since 2003; they partnered with Australia’s Immutable to conjure Might & Magic Fates.
