## Description
In Crows, players step into the role of… well, not exactly crows, but rather those who want to attract as many of them as possible! You see, crows are clever birds, but they have a weakness for shiny objects. And guess what? You and your friends have a bunch of gleaming items! The catch is, there's a lot of sparkle and too few crows for all that bling. Each turn, players place a board tile, expanding the landscape, and then strategically position their shiny objects. The goal is to create the best conditions for the crows, following some simple movement rules, to flock directly to your glitter. It's a game of wit and positioning, where every decision about where to place a tile and an object can change the flow of the birds. Once all tiles have been placed, the game ends, and the player who managed to attract the most crows to their objects is the grand winner. Released in 2010 by Valley Games, Crows is the seventh title in the publisher's Modern Line, promising fun and challenges for those who enjoy a good spatial puzzle with an animalistic twist.
