Hundreds of years ago, your ancestor stole a magical tarot deck from Fate herself— and it came with a terrible cost. Once every 23 years, one member of your family must face Fate in a duel with rules only known to your opponent. And every time, generation after generation, the outcome is the same: Fate claims their soul. Today, it's your turn. Can you defeat Fate? Dan Finkel shows how. \[Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu\].
