The Crow (card game)

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

The Crow is an out-of-print collectible card game published by Heartbreaker Hobbies and Target Games. It drew its imagery from The Crow comics by James O'Barr and from the 1994 film adaptation, and was released in November 1995, after an originally scheduled March 1995 date, alongside two other collectible card games from the same publishers, James Bond 007 and Kult. The core set contained 122 cards, including 10 foil cards carrying comic artwork, and the game had no starter decks: 15-card booster packs were its primary product, alongside a mail-in promotional card called The Confident Crow. Players control Angel, Devil and Neutral Bystander Personality cards, each with attack, defense and Virtue values, and use Action cards to pump or hinder a Personality in combat; a player wins by eliminating 25 Virtue points worth of an opponent's Personalities. A game takes under five minutes to set up and under 60 minutes to play, with 2 or more players.
