Battle Ravens!



After too long on the shelf we broke out PSC’s Battle Ravens. It is a game of
Shieldwall dark ages combat for two players. It plays in about an hour and uses 
great flat standing figures to represent the clashing armies. The core box comes 
with Anglo Saxons and Norse Vikings. Each army comes with a special cards
which add flavor and game effects for each army. Only a portion of the cards 
are used in a battle and are randomly dealt which adds nice differences to each
play. The first player to control three of the other players six zones wins. 

Each turn players allocate Ravens to each zone which equal dice to be used for both
attack and defense. Players alternate placing Ravens which creates interesting 
choices. Do you match what they did or hope to hammer an area where they did
not chose to support. Players can also transfer units to adjacent zone but not across
an enemy controlled zone. 

Old School Games Grade - We will play again!
