Haven: Ancient Relics

Hey folks! Ready to spice up your base game of Haven? This little gem is the Ancient Relics expansion, which came in The Red Raven Fan Box #1 back in 2018. It's just six cards, but they add that extra flavor to your game sessions.

The deal is simple: at the start of the game, each player gets a secret Ancient Relic. This card is your trump card and can be played at any time during your turn. Think about the possibilities! It can completely change the tide of battle or give you that crucial edge in the territory dispute. It's one of those additions that doesn't turn the game upside down but brings some nice replayability and a surprise element.

If you enjoy Haven and want to add a bit more strategy and unpredictability without overcomplicating the rules, this expansion is for you. It's one of those extras that are worth having in your collection to vary the gameplay and surprise your opponent. With the hand management and a touch of 'push your luck' that are already Haven's trademarks, the Ancient Relics fit in perfectly, adding an extra layer of decision-making and a potential comeback that will keep your adversary on edge.

Remember, it's a very small expansion, focused on adding a new, secret element for each player. Don't expect a ton of new components or revolutionary mechanics, but rather a polish that makes the game even more interesting for those who are already fans. It's the perfect choice for those who enjoy combat and territory-building games for two players, with a touch of fantasy and cute (or not-so-cute!) animals.
