About Lock & Spell: A Game of Fortunes, from BoardGameGeek:

Destiny awaits you within the chests of fate! Open three chests, and the treasure is yours - but only keys enchanted with the correct spells can unlock your fortune. You must summon the cards and cast your hand upon the keys. If you can't draw the right spells, offer a token of fate and try again. Get caught unable to enchant a key, and you lose a fate token. Run out of fate tokens, and you lose the game. Lock & Spell is a single player card game of luck and tactics. To begin, reveal a set of keys and draw a hand of five spell cards. Each key shows the required hand needed to enchant it, with some keys being more difficult to obtain than others. Spell cards come in four suits valued 1-10. If the player has a hand of cards that matches a key's spell, they may cast their magic and gain that key. If not, the player must use a token of fate to discard any number of spell cards and draw back up to five. Fate tokens are placed upon keys, and for the remainder of the current turn that key may not be gained. If during the turn a player's hand matches the spell shown upon a tokened key card, a penalty occurs and both the key and fate token are discarded. Gameplay continues until the player unlocks three chests and gains the treasures within. If the player should run out of fate tokens or keys, they lose. Winning a game of Lock & Spell rewards the player with a unique fortune, which is based upon the order of treasures gained. Players also score their game. More difficult chests grant higher scores, and points are gained for the remaining fate tokens not discarded. Cast your magic upon the keys and unlock your fate! -description from the publisher
