About the game
Gain absolute power! In Raverun, the players control the rulers who are fighting battles to take over the land of Raverun. In order to win, each ruler must hire mercenaries whose loyalty is always doubtful. During countless battles, they will change their master in order to get the most profits. Will the rulers manage to keep the strongest mercenaries on their sides? Which ruler will defeat his enemies and unite the split land of Raverun? Find out whether fate is on your side! In the game, the players play red and green mercenary cards, and the cards with the highest value stay on the battlefield, while those defeated return to one's castle. Each mercenary has a special ability that can change the outcome of the battle. The goal of the game is to have the strongest mercenary in your army.

Questions and answers
Raverun supports 2–3 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Raverun is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Raverun for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Raverun has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
