Every morning, Odin sends the ravens Hugin and Munin to race over the world of Midgard and report back what they have seen. The first to return to Odin wins Odin's favor, but any cunning corvid has a few tricks in store, and these are the two most brilliant birds in Middle Earth.

In this two-player card game Odin's Ravens, two ravens will race across separate tracks, the tracks comprising domino-style landscape cards that feature different types of land. Each player has their own deck of cards, which they will use to match the land type in front of their raven in order to advance the raven toward the end of the flight path. Loki cards lets a player take special actions, such as rearranging the track of landscape cards or impeding the other player's raven.

The Odin's Ravens (Second Edition) changes the game into a single race across a longer landscape, with players drawing a limited number of cards each turn from either the Loki deck or the land deck and playing as many cards as they desire. Whoever reaches the end of the world first wins the game.
