Players assume the role - and accompanying deck - of characters in Fable's world as they summon creatures, cast spells, and knock their opponent's life total to zero. Some unique mechanics have also been revealed, such as completing quests during the middle of a match, and using your character's morality to transform cards in your own hand into either good or evil variants.

An open beta for both PC and Xbox One are planned for October, with the full game expected to be out in late 2017.

Yet there are many ways in which we can improve and prolong our health. ‘Fast Living, Slow Ageing’ is all about embracing those opportunities.” Robin Holliday, author of ‘Understanding Ageing’ and ‘Ageing: The Paradox of Life’ “Today in Australia, we eat too much and move too little. But it is our future that will carry the cost. Our current ‘fast’ lifestyles will have their greatest impact on our prospects for healthy ageing. This book highlights many of the opportunities we all have to make a diference to our outlook, at a personal and social level.” Professor Stephen Leeder, AO, Director of the Menzies Centre for Health Policy, which leads policy analysis of healthcare “Healthy ageing can’t be found in a single supplement, diet or lifestyle change. It takes an integrated approach across a number of key areas that complement to slowly build and maintain our health. ‘Fast Living, Slow Ageing’ shows how it is possible to practically develop these kind of holistic techniques and take control of our future.” Professor Marc Cohen, MBBS (Hons), PhD (TCM), PhD (Elec Eng), BMed Sci (Hons), FAMAC, FICAE, Professor, founder of www.thebigwell.com “SLOW is about discovering that everything we do has a knock-on efect, that even our smallest choices can reshape the big picture. Understanding this can help us live more healthily, more fully and maybe even longer too.” Carl Honoré, author of ‘In Praise of Slow’ “We all know about the dangers of fast food.
