How to play Raveness

Overview & game plan

A raven keeper: Nevermore pecks, collects and heals – ignore the raven and lose slowly; manage it and win.

If after roll 1 5× Raven Eye for Fantastic Terrors! are reachable. Keep 5× Raven Eye and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Fantastic Terrors! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Craven. Fantastic Terrors! deals a documented 13 damage and applies hex, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

Strengths

Nevermore: 1 undefendable per activation + dial up; its return heals the dial value
Nothing More: ~2 prevention + ~2 counter on 5 dice
Hex turns all 6s into blanks – ultimates become impossible
Peck (5–7) and Craven (8) are solid with zero setup

Weaknesses

The Nevermore die on an opponent is a gamble – needs Feather management
No burst past 9 outside the ultimate

Concrete playing rules

Early game

Build Peck/Raven Sight and initial feathers; do not park Nevermore without a return plan.

Late game

Combine the 13-damage ultimate or repeated Nevermore cycles with stable defense.

Resources

Nevermore: A companion with a dial (0–3): activating = send it to a target OR absorb vitality on an opponent (dial +1, 1 undefendable). When it returns you heal the dial value; the opponent rolls the Nevermore die every upkeep (effects from Hex to card loss). Activations via Raven Sight, Chamber ×2, Fowl Friend ×2, Beguile, a Peck four-of-a-kind, ultimate ×3. Park it on the opponent, absorb to dial 3, then bring it home: 3 chip damage + 3 healing per cycle.
Feather: Max 5: 1 = force a reroll of the Nevermore die, 2 = shift the result by 1, 3 = activate Nevermore. Fowl Friend +4, Murder of Crows wings, Craven +1, Beguile +2. Twist away the 6 (raven returns with a dial reset!) – 2 Feathers save the whole absorb cycle.

Statuses & timing

Nevermore dial 0–3; Feather max 5. The opponent's Nevermore upkeep roll has the documented outcomes and can be modified by Feather.
Hex makes enemy sixes worthless as documented; do not infer a broader global rule.
3 Nevermore dial = maximum documented drain/heal cycle; 2–3 feathers enable meaningful die correction.
4 raven eyes = Chamber; 5 = ultimate threshold.

Nevermore: Activations via Raven Sight, Chamber ×2, Fowl Friend ×2, Beguile, a Peck four-of-a-kind, ultimate ×3.
Nevermore: Park it on the opponent, absorb to dial 3, then bring it home: 3 chip damage + 3 healing per cycle.
Feather: Fowl Friend +4, Murder of Crows wings, Craven +1, Beguile +2.
Feather: Twist away the 6 (raven returns with a dial reset!) – 2 Feathers save the whole absorb cycle.
