Overview

The Conan Collectible Card Game is a two-player CCG set in the Hyborian Age. Players build decks and compete using warriors, sorcerers, and allies from the Conan universe. Players draw from two separate decks (Story and Draw decks), play characters, equip weapons, and engage in combat to defeat opponents. The game features an alternating action structure similar to City of Heroes CCG.

Components

• Story deck cards (locations, events, quests)
• Draw deck cards (characters, items, abilities, attachments)
• Wager tokens
• Damage tokens

Setup

1. Each player shuffles both their Story deck and Draw deck separately.
2. Place Story deck and Draw deck face down.
3. The first active player draws 5 cards from their Draw Deck; other player draws 7.
4. Reveal the top card of each Story deck.

Turn Structure

Players alternate performing single actions until both pass consecutively, then advance to the next story phase.

• Characters have stats for combat, cunning, and sorcery.
• Wager tokens can be spent for extra effects during challenges.
• Sorcery cards represent magical abilities with powerful but costly effects.
