Unkindness of Ravens

"Out of curiosity... Amelio Gonzolez... stuck a flaming candle... in the protruding ear of... Maria Sanchez... and smiled wickedly."

Uncover an act most cruel by revealing six story elements that together describe the treachery and spell the word UNKIND.

Careful though, your opponents are equally devilish, so you'll need to use your letters, corvid tokens, and perhaps summon a black raven to stop them. 2 to 5 players and plays in about 20 minutes.

The Corvid Tokens can also be used to expand your options and deepen your strategy in Murder of Crows.

OBJECTIVE: Be the first player to spell the word UNKIND in front of you and then read the Act Most Cruel along the bottom of the cards aloud to win.

PLAY: On your turn you draw 1 card and play 1 card in front of you in order to spell the word UNKIND.

When played, a card's ability is activated:

 Undo: Pick a player, they must return the last card they played into their Unkind to their hand.
 Need: Draw 1 card and 1 corvid.
 Kill: Remove one letter from an opponent’s UNKIND
 Investigate: Draw 2 corvid Tokens, then look at a player's hand.
 Drag: Collect 1 corvid Token from another player.

Alternatively, a player can acquire a Corvid Token:

 When casting a spell, a player may instead draw a corvid token. Spell does not occur.
 When drawing a card, a player may instead draw a corvid token.

Countering Card Abilities: When a card is played, another player may prevent its effect from affecting them (alone) by discarding a card from their hand. The discarded card must have the same number of Crows in the top left corner as the card played.

Using Corvid Tokens

 When playing a letter card, a player may spend corvid token(s), to increase the crow value of the card by 1 crow per token.
 When countering a spell, a player may spend corvid token(s), to increase or decrease the crow value of the card by 1 crow per token.
 Before ending their turn, a player may place corvid token(s) on any empty letter spot(s) in another player’s UNKIND. Players may add to spots with corvid token(s), but no letter spot may every contain more than 5 corvid token.

Corvid Tokens in your Murder

 When there is one or more corvid tokens in your murder, you may only play a letter card into that spot if you over come the total number of Birds in the spot. The player can do this with just a letter card, or it may require additional crows added to the card (An empty spot with 5 corvid tokens, could be removed with a 3 Crow Letter card and 3 corvid tokens). Once overcome, all the corvid tokens are removed.
 A Wild Crow/Raven card may be placed in a empty spot regardless of corvid tokens. The corvid tokens are all removed.
