Odin's Ravens is an elegant and tense two-player board game inspired by Norse mythology. Players take on the roles of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn, as they embark on their daily race around the world, striving to return to their master before their rival.
Every morning, Odin sends his two ravens to observe the world. After thousands of years of daily flights, the birds have developed a competitive spirit, and now they race each other around the globe. The game is steeped in Norse mythology, including the trickster god Loki, whose schemes can either aid or hinder the ravens on their journey.
Players:
- Set up 16 landscape cards to create two flight paths.
- Each player guides their raven along one of these paths.
- To move, they play flight cards that match the terrain ahead, such as forests or mountains.
- They can also use Loki cards, which provide special abilities such as speeding up, altering the route, or placing obstacles in the opponent's way.
The winner is the first player to complete the journey around the world and return to the starting point.
Thanks to its compact design and short playing time, Odin's Ravens is an excellent choice for a quick and engaging two-player gaming session. 🪶
