Osprey Games Ofrenda

Product Description

Assemble a colourful altar to celebrate your loved ones in this card-placement game inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead. The Día de los Muertos is almost upon us. It is time to prepare the ofrenda – a bright, inviting altar to remember those who have passed away. Gather the portraits of your family members, place candles and marigolds to guide their spirits, and make offerings of the things they loved in life. Ofrenda is a competitive card-placement game for 1–4 players in which you must draft and carefully arrange the portraits of your late relatives on your player boards. Fulfil their wishes, making sure to seat them next to their dearest cousin or far from the food they like least. As your altar starts to fill up, however, it might become difficult to keep everybody happy! Players: 1-4 Ages: 14+ Playing time: 60 minutes Contents: 4 player boards, 80 playing cards, 30+ wooden pieces, 40+ tokens, rulebook
