The turn structure combines drawing from the deck with playing a face-up card to one of six letter stacks, triggering card effects unless blocked. Players may draw twice by passing on a play, use Wild Crow cards for targeted advantages, and prevent opponents’ effects by discarding matching Crow-number cards. The optional two-player “Murdered Third” variant adds special round actions and winning condition reveals the murder story text.","oo~  \nQuick Start  \nDeal:Deal 4 cards to the first player and 5 cards to the others.Draw&Play:On your turn,draw a card.Then either draw again orelse play a card to one of your six \"M-U-R-D-E-R\"letter stacks.Effects:Your card's effect happens when played,unless blocked.Win:When you finish your Murder,read the text.You win!  \nCredits  \nGame Design:Thomas Denmark&Eduardo Baraf  \nIllustration:Thomas Denmark  \nEditing&Production:Michelle Nephew &Kyla McCorkle Tonding  \nAdditional Graphic Design:Nicolas Gluesenkamp  \nThe Murdered Third Design:Jake Tonding&Kyla McCorkle Tonding  \nPublisher:John Nephew  \nDesigners'Thanks:Molly Denmark,Emily Baraf,Susan &Chris RossPublisher's Thanks:Cam Banks,Jess Banks,Bob Brynildson,JerryCorrick,JeffTidball,Travis Winter,and everyone at The Source.  \nPlaytesters:Jason Nuccio,Jess Banks,Cam Banks,Mark Reed,Chris Atkins,Adam Minnie,Greg Eichholzer,Alexandria Rosales,MeganWagoner,Waylon Stipes,Michael Williams,and Ben Yee.  \n◎2012-2022 Thomas Denmark &EduardoBaraf.Murder of Crous and the Murder of Crouslogo are trademarks of Thomas Denmark &Eduardo Baraf,used under license by Trident,Inc.d/b/a Atlas Games®.Atlas Games is a registeredtrademark of Trident,Inc.All rights reserved.This work is protected by international copyrightlaw and may not be reproduced in whole or in partwithout the written consent ofthe publisher.  \nwww.atlas-games.com  \neo  \nMurderofCrowsSecond Edition  \noo.  \nObjective  \nReveal a complete murder story by playing all the letters in theword“M-U-R-D-E-R.”  \nTo Start  \n1.Remove the reference cards.  \n2.Shuffle the deck.  \n3.The most suspicious-looking player goes first in the initialgame,while in later games the player to the left of the lastwinner goes first.  \n4.Deal(face down)four cards to the first player and five cardsto all other players.  \n5.Set the remaining cards face down to form the draw pile.  \n6.Everyone can now look at their cards.  \n7.Play proceeds clockwise.  \nContents  \n61 total cards:·48 regular cards)Of the 48 regular cards:·19 have 1 crow  \n·7wild crow cards·16 have 2 crows  \n·13 have 3 crows  \n·5 regular reference cards  \n·1 reference card for·8each of“M,”“U,”\"D,\"and“E”The Murdered Third·16“R”s(optional two-player variant)  \noo  \noo  \nBuilding a Murder  \nYou'll play cards to your Murder,an area on the table in frontof you.It has six stacks,one for each letter,in order.A stack canhave more than one copy of its letter,as backup in case you haveto discard.  \nOn Your Turn  \nDraw one card,then play one card.  \nDraw from the deck,then play from your hand,face-up to any ofyour stacks (you do not have to play the letters in order).As soonas you play a card,its effect happens,unless someone blocks it.See CARD EFFECTS and PREVENTING EFFECTS.  \nOr,skip your turn to draw twice.You can draw two cards if you give up the chance to play.  \nThen,play passes.The player to your left goes next.  \noloooOnyour turn,you can play a Wild Crow card to your MurderTake any one card ofyour choice from anotherin any letter slot.You can do this only if there are no other WildCrows showing in your Murder (that is,at the top of a stack),butplayer's Murder and put it in your hand.you can play a Wild Crow on top of an existing Wild Crow ifyou wish.It's afected by other card effects as per the letter slot itoccupies.It then has either of two effects,your choice:Everyone else reveals their hands to all·Wild card:The immediate effectplayers;you choose one card from any otherof the letter slot it is being playedplayer's hand and put it in your hand.to occurs.ORYou draw one additional card from the draw·Remove a stack:You may selectpile.All\"R\"cards are interchangeable and cana stack in someone's Murder andbe used in either“R\"slot to spell“\"Murder.\"discard all its cards.DOff-turn,the Wild Crow cardChoose any letter;everyone else must discardcan be discarded from your handone of that cardfrom their Murder iftheyto prevent any card from affectingyou.See OFFTURN—PREVENTINGhave it.EFECTS on the next page.Ever","cbCaio8Hmc7LQcZy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio8Hmc7LQcZy","pdf",14838376,1,18,"English","en",105,"# Objective\n# To Start\n# Contents\n# Building a Murder\n# On Your Turn\n## The Wild Crow Card\n## Card Effects\n# The Murdered Third\n## Off Turn—Preventing Effects\n# Winning the Game","[{\"question\":\"How do you win in Murder of Crows?\",\"answer\":\"Complete the word “M-U-R-D-E-R” by playing all the letters in front of you, then read the text across your top cards to reveal the murder story.\"},{\"question\":\"What choices do you have on your turn?\",\"answer\":\"Draw one card and then play one card, face-up to any of your six letter stacks.
