In Haven, you and a friend face off in an epic battle for the soul of a mystical forest. On one side, the forest creatures and their ancient spirits seek to defend their ancestral home using the wisdom of the leaves. On the other, the human city, thirsty for resources, employs machines and the power of 'stone lore' to dominate nature. The Forest Guardian, who once protected the land, now slumbers deeply, leaving the fate of the kingdom in the players' hands.

To secure victory, you'll need to send your 'seekers' to collect the lore scattered by the elementals inhabiting the forest. But beware, the dispute over lore can heat up and turn into combat! Control of shrines scattered across the map is also crucial, as whoever dominates the majority surrounding the forest havens gains bonus points. Tension mounts with every card played and every risky decision. The game ends when one type of lore is depleted or an elemental leaves the board, forcing the Guardian's awakening. At that moment, whoever has accumulated the most points, whether by dominating or protecting the forest, is declared the winner.

Haven is a two-player card game that blends hand management, set collection, and a touch of 'push your luck'. The contest for influence and area control, combined with the engaging theme of nature versus civilization, makes each game a tense and strategic experience. With quick playtime, it's perfect for those seeking a direct and thematic confrontation in a short amount of time.
