The Crows Know

The Crows Know is a challenging game about asymmetrical knowledge and communication under extreme limitations. It's about seeing the future, and tackling plagues. It's about Crows who Know.

It's also part of an ongoing mixed media storytelling experience.

To play you will need:

• Another player
• A six sided dice (or ideally 2) to generate a random number.
• Pen and paper
• A chessboard or similar grid on which to place tokens or counters to create a map. Alternatively, you can try and print the one provided.
• 3x Coins, beads, or other counter in 2 different sizes.
• 3x Matchstick or similar stick like item.
• A counter to represent The Crows on the Board. Possibly a Rook piece?

Due to time constraints I haven't had much/any time to balance this game with another person. It may be very hard to win initially. Try playing a few consecutive games with one player as Crows and the other as Keeper. I am certain The Crows will find interesting ways to use the tools at their disposal to create inventive ways to communicate with The Keeper and find a way to succeed!

Rules and associated media are presented in a downloadable PDF. Please consider the environment before printing this game.

It was created for Week 3 of the Struthless Alphabet Superset Challenge, for the letter C (for Crows).
