Can you pierce the secrets of the R.A.V.E.L. (Rare Artefact Vertiginous Enigmatic Logical)? R.A.V.E.L. is an endlessly resettable puzzle, where you'll have to manipulate 8 dice placed in the centre of a grid in order to solve the Cog cards placed around it. Each solved Cog card will grant you a unique opportunity to further unlock the remaining cards, but only the clever use of your limited resources will allow you to pierce the secrets of this strange contraption.
