While Where Winds Meet isn’t a traditional gacha game where you roll for different characters, it shares many features with them. It has its own standalone cosmetic gacha and is a live service game that regularly introduces new stories and locations for players to explore.
Through these updates, there are various events where you can participate in mini-games, which help keep the game fresh. One notable example is the Thaw Of Eons, which is among the first events where gameplay shifts away from the usual cycle. Instead of the normal loop, it offers a familiar card game for you to enjoy.
### How To Unlock Thaw Of Eons
The Thaw Of Eons event was added in the game’s Version 1.1 update on December 12, 2025. It runs until January 5, 2025. You need to be at least level five and have completed the Qinghe main story chapter called Another New Wing, which appears early in the game. Once these tasks are done, the event center will unlock for you, allowing immediate participation.
The event is available in three phases, with the first phase featuring the Fortune Beyond Parlor game mode.
### Fortune Beyond Parlor Game Mode Guide
The main activity during the Thaw Of Eons event is the Fortune Beyond Parlor mode. You can play alone or against three other players online. Solo play pairs you with three bots, but playing against real people tends to be more fun, since the game relies heavily on luck and strategy.
In this game, four players sit around a square table. Each gets five cards at the start. The deck contains 20 cards: five of each number from one to three, and five special cards. At the start of each round, the game randomly selects a “safe” number card—either one, two, or three—and displays it on the top-left of your screen. The special cards are always safe and can be played at any time, no matter what the safe card is.
The deck is then shuffled randomly among the players. The person who begins can play up to three cards. After their turn, other players can challenge them or play their own cards. If you are challenged:
– If all the cards you played are safe, the challenger must drink a bottle.
– If one or more of your cards are unsafe, you and all other players on the table have to drink.
Every player starts with four bottles, one of which contains poison. When challenged, the player who loses the challenge drinks a bottle at random. There’s a 25% chance it’s poisoned, and if it is, you’re out of the game. Once eliminated, you can watch the game or leave to collect your rewards and start a new round.
### Tips To Win In Fortune Beyond Parlor
Your success in this mode depends a lot on luck, but here are some strategies to improve your chances:
– The first turn is crucial. Playing a few safe cards or a few unsafe cards can influence your opponent’s decisions. Playing mostly safe cards might encourage opponents to challenge you.
– Pay close attention to how long your opponents take to play their cards. If they rush to play three cards near the end of their turn, it’s likely that at least one of those cards is unsafe.
– You can estimate how many safe cards each player might have based on your own hand. If you hold three safe cards, only seven remain in the deck. This makes it less likely that your opponents have three safe cards remaining.
Getting familiar with these tactics can help you make smarter choices and increase your chances of winning, even though luck still plays a big role.
