In Hand of Fate, sometimes you have to choose a card where you have success, fail, huge fail or huge success.
I couldn't find a good way to "beat" that minigame. I always end up selecting fail or huge fail. It is very frustrating!!!
Is there a way to "follow the card"? Or to always select the success card?

To start, we must first understand how the four cards are shuffled (The cards themselves can be any combination of "success", "huge success", "failure" and "huge failure"):
The important part to remember while watching steps three and four is that the cards maintain their 'order' in the stack. If we take a theoretical Spread (from left to right) or Huge Success (1), Success (2), Failure (3) Huge Failure (4), it may look like this as it shoves them together:
(I've highlighted the cards to better illustrate which ones are top/bottom/middle)
The top card in this case is Huge Success. When they are pulled apart, you can continue to follow the top card. The easiest two cards to follow, in my experience, are the top and bottom cards. This can get complicated when the cards are shuffled more than once, but it is still possible to follow the cards.
If the there is only a single success card and it ends up in the middle, I tend to eliminate the cards that were on the top and bottom, and then have a 50% chance of getting the correct card, which is better than the base 25% chance of just picking one of the four cards at random.
The difficulty of the chance cards depends how far into the game you are, and the 'difficulty' of the encounter that prompted the chance cards. As the difficulty increases, there may be fewer (huge) Success cards,and more (huge) Failure cards. The dealer will also start shuffling faster, and more than once, making it harder to keep track of the desirable cards.
There are a couple cards you can unlock and randomly obtain in future games that can greatly assist in picking the right cards.
Both of these cards are unlocked by completing The Apprentice encounter and claiming the card's token by paying either 15 gold or 5 food for a teleportation spell.
