Odin's Ravens (Second Edition)
A two-player raven race where Loki reshapes the board and sometimes helps the wrong bird.
Who it's for
You and your partner or a friend want a compact two-player game with a clever twist and a pretty look.
Not for you ifβ¦
You need more than two players. The game is built for exactly two, and cannot stretch beyond that.
Vibe's take
Tight and tricky, a head-to-head duel where every card has two uses and every board change is a gamble. The race stays close until someone misjudges Loki.
About this game
Two ravens, one old god, and a race around the world. Huginn and Muninn fly out in opposite directions every morning to bring news back to Odin, and after a few thousand years they have got competitive about it. You play cards to move your raven across the landscape, but you can also call on Loki to bend the route with shortcuts and detours. The catch is that Loki is a trickster: a change meant to hinder your opponent can end up helping them instead. A compact two-player race with a Norse look, about half an hour, and a fair few moments of 'oh, I really should have seen that coming'.
