Odin's Ravens: A mythical race game for 2 players (Osprey Games) for 8 years old

Description

Product Description Odin's Ravens is a fast-playing two-player racing card game. Every morning Odin sends his ravens, Huginn and Muninn, across the planet to bring back news of life on Earth, and after thousands of years they have grown competitive. Race through the landscape in opposite directions to be first back to Odin: focus on speed, enlist the trickster god Loki to create shortcuts, or hinder your opponent. Winner of the 2003 International Gamers Award for best two-player general strategy game, this second edition adds new rules and an art upgrade. Includes 106 cards and 2 wooden ravens. For 2 players, ages 8 and up. Review “The package as a whole is very well done. It's an attractive game. The cards are nice . . . Looks good. Great artwork . . . It's pretty quick and a lot of fun!” ―Dice Tower“The artwork by Johan Egerkrans is fantastic and I think really helps give the game a new lease of life. It's also another great feather in the cap when it comes to board games by Osprey who are slowly but surely getting into this market.” ―Beasts of War“I absolutely love the production on this new edition of Odin's Ravens, from the sturdy, very tome-like clamshell box, to the vivid and handsomely designed cards, to the two wooden ravens that serve as the playing pieces.” ―Boing Boing“This is the perfect kind of game to play with the family, for a quickie, or to play something fun with people who don't normally game.” ―ICv2“A total winner! . . . run out and buy Odin's Ravens as soon as you can” ―The Discriminating Gamer“An excellent little 2 player game. I have a great time with it every time.” ―theMCGuiRE review“Its small box and beautiful artwork make it perfect for display next to the checkout. Give it a look.” ―Model Retailer Magazine“The design of the game from the box, to the rules, to the cards is outstanding....The simple rules and meaningful decisions prove it was a wise decision to reprint Odin's Ravens and Osprey did a amazing job with the production.” ―Geek Cast Radio Network“It's really fun!” ―Gameosity“For my money, this game is a great value! The art is fantastic, the components are top notch, there is strategy and planning needed to succeed and the game play is short and interesting. I consider this game a great filler that should be in everyone's collection for that time you are simply looking for a good, fast play with some tactical decisions. Osprey Games has done a great job in making this game a keeper.” ―Grant Kleinhenz, The Players' Aid“This game belongs on every gamer's shelf! Odin's Ravens is a fun, exciting, strategy racing game that does not disappoint. The very fact that almost anything you do to mess with your opponent will come back to bite you makes this a deceptively more strategic game than most people realize. Over the last several months that I've owned this game it has become one of the most requested games by both my regular players as well as my non-gamer friends.” ―Two-Gun Pixie“. . . a great game that definitely gets its wings by me. Give it a try! You may find yourself flocking to this game.” ―Chaz Marler, Pair of Dice Paradise“. . . a worthy title to add to your two-player game collection.” ―CatholicMom.com“This game's strengths include fast gameplay, unique elongated card shapes, easy-to-learn rules, no more cards to buy, game balance, sleek packaging, only just two wooden playing pieces, easy set-up and easy clean-up . . . Highly recommended.” ―Multiverse“A tense game of back and forth with every game resulting in a nail-biting finish, Odin's Ravens is a phenomenal, fast two player card game filled with lavish art and plenty of 'SO CLOSE' moments.” ―GeekDad.com“A fairly simple game on the surface, but one that is rendered delightfully. Osprey Games has made a beautiful game here. The artwork of the landscapes is vivid and lucid, lending each landscape an atmosphere of its own. I can easily imagine the crispness of the mountain air, or the gloom of the swaps.” ―Angelus Morningstar, Story Board Webseries
