Description

Crowkeeper is a take-that hand management game. Each player starts with a small murder of 15 crows and a stash 15 bits. On the board, there are rows of action cards that these players will roll dice to gain. By playing these cards, crowkeepers can grow their murder, attack others, defend themselves and gain wealth. The crowkeeper with the most crows at the end of the game wins.

The unique part of Crowkeeper is that players watch one another acquire cards from the board, so theoretically you have full knowledge of your opponents' hands and must plan your turns accordingly.
