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.
