In haven, you and your opponent battle for control of a mystical forest. The haven Guardian, spirit of the forest, sleeps deeply and can no longer protect its Kingdom. One of you controls the city in an effort to master the vulnerable forest using "stone lore" And machines. The other plays as the forest and its creatures who defend their home with the aid of "leaf lore" And forest spirits. To obtain the power needed to oppose your enemy, you must send seekers to compete for the lore controlled by eleMENTALS, ancient beings who bestow the lore on those who seek it. Seekers also engage in combat for control of shrines on the board, scoring you bonus points if you occupy a majority of shrines surrounding forest havens. When one Type of lore is depleted or one elemental has left the board, The haven Guardian Awakens and the player with the higher score Masters the forest — or defends it from harm — and wins the game.

I love everything from Red Raven Games. This game is beautiful to look at and has fun strategy without taking too long. This may be one of their smaller games but they didn’t skimp on components. The components are phenomenal especially for such a small price! Highly recommend!
Another slam dunk from Red Raven! This game is excellent! It takes roughly an hour to set up, explain, and play. The sides (the Forest and the City) are balanced with just enough difference between them to stand out. The theme of the game does fit the mechanics, and of course the art on the cards is just the icing on the cake! The only issue I've had so far is that the rulebook is unclear on a couple of important points (mostly about how "offerings" work), so it's a good idea too watch a playthrough online before you play the first time. Also, I do wish more than just two people could play, but that's more a nitpick.If your looking for a beautifully designed compact 2 player game at an affordable price, this is it!
We are always looking for 2 player games to play as a couple and this one is a great addition to our collection. It keeps us on our toes, and is a fun, competitive, and fairly simple game (once you learn to play) that we enjoy when we have under an hour to play a game.
