🐸 HOW TO PLAY

Make your choices: you are the Heroes. Kaan's fate is in your hands. The Forest Kindred introduces familiars, loyal companion animals with unique abilities, dedicated dice, and beautiful miniatures. Investigate the kidnapping of a shaman in the city of Katafygia as the intrigues of the Kartaçöl Empire close in on your homeland. Face new factions led by mages capable of casting powerful spells (represented in the game by dedicated Spell decks), equip yourself with new weapons, and battle enemies on the new map tiles.

This expansion introduces new mechanics that will allow you to play Fateforge differently. If you love strategy, compelling storytelling, and tactical combat, this adventure will immerse you in an immersive new chapter in the Fateforge story: The Chronicles of Kaan .

This expansion introduces six new animal companions and several new mechanics that will significantly change your games. It also includes two new map tile sets, a selection of new weapons, new Spell decks for opposing commanders, and a horde of new enemies.

Rules

In the freezing cold of the North, the only warmth is that of those who are truly faithful to you.

Co-op expansion for Fateforge, featuring animal companions, new factions, and snowy environments.

Snow, spirits, and wild creatures: the North is calling. And you won't be alone.

Forest Bloodline is the expansion that turns every hero into a legendary duo.

In the frozen heart of the North, among snow-covered forests, port cities and lost shamans , your fate becomes intertwined with that of incredible animal companions , each with unique powers, action dice and abilities.

They are not mascots, but real allies , mini-characters that evolve with you, ready to fight and protect you as the world around you crumbles.

Add new factions, new powers, modular boards, and a narrative that adapts to every decision.

The North awaits you. And it does not forgive unprepared heroes.



Fateforge – The Forest Kindred: A narrative and tactical expansion with animal companions.

If you’re looking for a content-rich expansion for the cooperative board game Fateforge , The Forest Lineage is the perfect answer.

Adds animal companions with dedicated boards, powers, and action dice, transforming the gameplay and making it even more immersive.

The campaign moves to Katafygia , a port city in the ice, where new factions and leaders bring with them unpredictable powers and growing threats.

Two new modular map sets – Wooden Interior and Forest – freshen up each scenario, while new scene tiles, objects, and locations make each mission more varied and surprising.

Perfect for those who love narrative board games with animal companions , The Forest Lineage delves into the emotional side of journeying… and combat.


We played it. And we grew fond of it 🐸

Let's face it: we were already in love with Fateforge, but this expansion made us want to never stop. 🐸

The animal companions are a marvel , not only for their design, but for how they change the pace of the game.

Having an ally that grows with you – whether a raven, a wolf, or a creature of the forest – adds tactics and heart .

The new factions are bad (in the best sense of the word), and the new settings really feel like they're on another narrative level.

For us, this is a fundamental expansion: not just more content, but more excitement. And more dice to roll, of course.
