Crows

A tile-placement game where players position shiny objects to attract the most crows under simple flocking rules. Each tile changes where birds will gather, so clever placement must outthink other collectors’ competing lures.

Read the full game description

Crows are smart, but they have a weakness for shiny objects. You have a shiny object. The problem is, so do your friends. There are too many shiny objects and too few crows! Players take turns placing tiles and then positioning their shiny objects to attract the most crows. Crows flock to the shiny objects based on simple rules. It’s going to take some wits if you’re going to attract the most birds! When all tiles have been placed, the player who has attracted the most crows wins. This was one of Valley Games' 2010 Essen releases. Crows is #7 in the Valley Games Modern Line
