## Description
Get ready for a winged race with Odin's Ravens! In this revised edition, you and your opponent take on the roles of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn, in a competition to see who returns first to tell the Allfather the news. Every morning, they fly to the ends of the earth, and after millennia, the rivalry between them has only grown. The objective is simple: be the fastest to complete the course and return. But beware, because the treacherous Loki might show up to help you with shortcuts... or to hinder your opponent. The problem is, his tricks might backfire and end up benefiting the one he least intended! 

With brand-new art inspired by Norse mythology and refined rules, this two-player card game is all about tension and strategy. You'll manage your hand of cards wisely, using them to advance on the track and perhaps create bold moves to throw off your opponent. The 'resource to move' mechanic ensures that every card played has weight, and the track movement keeps the race exciting. It's a quick game, with matches lasting no more than half an hour, perfect for those who enjoy strategic duels with a touch of luck and unpredictability. Can you anticipate Loki's moves and win this cosmic contest?
