The Ravens of Thri Sahashri to Return from Osprey Games
Board Game: The Ravens of Thri Sahashri
Osprey Games has announced that it will release a new edition of Kuro's self-published two-player cooperative game The Ravens of Thri Sahashri, with this item being scheduled for a May 2016 release and a $22/£15 MSRP. The backstory of the game has changed somewhat, and the Osprey Games edition has one new element. Some details:

Quote:
This co-operative card game for two players tells the story of a young woman trapped in a coma, her devoted friend who can share her dreams, and the soul-destroying ravens that are trying to devour her memories.

Duncan Molloy, Osprey's Games Developer, had this to say: "What makes this game special is the fusion of a truly heart-rending story and extremely elegant and nuanced game mechanics. It is a game like no other I've ever played, combining hidden information with a deteriorating deck, as the Ravens destroy memory cards between rounds. Only one player has access to the deck of memories, while only the other player knows which cards they need. We've also added an element unique to this edition: three sealed envelopes, to be opened upon completing the game, but only if certain conditions have been met."
For more details on the gameplay, here's an overview of the original edition from Manifest Destiny at Spiel 2014 from Simon Lundström, who translated the rules into English for the Japon Brand release that year:
