Murder of Crows 2nd Edition from Atlas Games!

Order by Date: July 14, 2017
Release Date: July 2017

 
ATG1342
Murder of Crows 2nd Edition


$14.95 SRP

The crows saw it all. Who died, who did it, where it happened… even how it was done. Your job is to use the cards in your hand to piece together the facts and reveal the dastardly deed… spell MURDER and you've won! But beware, your opponents' goal is the same; steal their cards, counter their actions, or throw their investigation into disarray with a Wild Crow before they do it to you! At any moment a well-played card can shift the balance and seal someone's fate.

Murder of Crows is a fast-paced card game for 2-5 players. Easy-to-learn, the typical game lasts 15-20 minutes and is suitable for everyone 13 and up.

The 2nd Edition of Murder of Crows is an aesthetic upgrade to the original game. The cards are now tarot-sized, and Dungeoneer-creator Thomas Denmark's atmospheric art has been given more space to shine. The packaging has been upgraded from a tuck box to a beautiful aluminum tin, as seen with Hounded and Lost in R'lyeh. Some reference cards and a two-player variant have also been added, but none of the rules have changed!

New from Atlas Games! Munchkin Gloom!

Coming in August!
ATG1333
Gloom: Munchkin
$29.95 SRP

Munchkin Gloom is a stand-alone card game that uses the transparent gameplay of Gloom to bring the world of Munchkin to new depths of despair and misery.

There are plenty of happy people in the world of Munchkin. Warriors who slay monsters, adventurers who grab loot, heroes who level up. Heck, halflings who stay at home eating pie all day. But the world of Munchkin is also sad and benighted. A place where those very same Munchkins are all too often backstabbed by buddies, dined on by dragons, and discovered by doom ducks. Heroes delve too deep, plummet down pits, and lose their loot. And that’s before they die.

In Munchkin Gloom, players shepherd their parties through terrible travails and troublesome tribulations until - inevitably - they perish in pain. Naturally, the most miserable fellowship wins.

2-4 players
Ages 13+
60 minutes play time

Contains:
110 transparent, poker-sized playing cards

New from Atlas Games! Gloom: Fairytale, 2nd Edition Gloom: Unquiet Dead and Ars Magica: Thrice-Told Tales!

Coming in May!
ATG1332
Gloom: Fairytale
$24.95 SRP

Fairy tales are awful. Wolves and old women eat children, giants fall from the sky, and even young girls break-and-enter to steal porridge from unsuspecting families.

In Fairytale Gloom, custom collections of fairy tale characters like Jack, Gretel, Puss in Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood do their best to stay happy, but circumstances conspire to rain woe on their sad, benighted heads.

These heroes become beasts, give up on Grandma, and cry wolf once too often. Even though they look into magic mirrors and kill golden geese, most end their days living in giant shoes…or worse.

Eventually, enough Unhappy Endings come to pass that the game ends. And then? The most miserable collection of characters wins.

A stand-alone sequel to Gloom where the characters and misfortunes are drawn from classic fairy tales.

2-4 players
Ages 13+
60 minute play time

Contains:
110 transparent, poker-sized playing cards

Ars Magica: Thrice-Told Tales
$27.95 SRP

The prince saves the princess and they marry. But then they have a daughter, and perhaps the faeries are still interested. A saint raises the dead and stops a war, and years later the wealth of the pilgrimage site nurtures a hive of diabolists. A maga recovers a mighty enchantment, and her apprentice accidentally opens a gate to a region.

Actions have Consequences.

This Ars Magica book contains five sequences of three stories each: issues and situations that cannot be fully resolved in a single story, but which return to draw the characters back in years later. Divine, Infernal, Faerie, and Magic: thematic threads for the tapestry of your saga.

144 pages, Softcover

Cthulhu Gloom
$24.95 SRP

From Dunwich to Innsmouth, from the halls of Miskatonic University to the Charles Dexter Ward at Arkham Asylum, trouble is in the air. The stars are almost right, and terrors from beyond space and time are beginning to break through. When Cthulhu rises, we're all doomed -- but whose downfall will be the most entertaining?

In Cthulhu Gloom, you control a group of Lovecraftian protagonists and guide them down a path of horror and madness to an untimely death, while keeping your opponents happy, healthy, and annoyingly alive. While your characters Gibber With Ghouls and Learn Loathsome Lore to earn negative points, you'll encourage your opponents to be Analyzed by Alienists and to Just Forget About the Fungus to pile on positive points. When one group finally falls prey to the inter-dimensional doom that awaits us all, the player whose characters have suffered the most wins.

Cthulhu Gloom is printed on transparent plastic cards. Multiple Modifier cards can be played on top of the same Character card; since the cards are transparent, elements from previously played Modifier cards either show through or are obscured by those played above them. You can immediately and easily see the point value of every character, no matter how many Modifiers they have piled on.

Cthulhu Gloom is a stand-alone card game that's also fully compatible with Gloom and its expansions. It introduces Story cards and Transformation cards.
