Conan Collectible Card Game

2006 collectible card game

The Conan Collectible Card Game is an out of print collectible card game set in the fictional Hyborian Age of Conan the Barbarian. The game was designed by Jason Robinette, and produced by Comic Images and released in 2006.

Each player in the Conan Collectible Card Game takes on the role of Conan, attempting to earn renown throughout the land for his deeds and adventures. While each player has his or her own Conan, they are considered to be in parallel dimensions, so each exists only when it is the respective player's active turn. During this time, the opponent takes on the role of Conan's foes, attempting to defeat Conan. Victory is achieved either through earning 40 renown for one's own Conan, or through defeating the opponent's Conan. This mechanism, where a player controls the hero forces during their turn, and the enemies during the opponent's turn, is also used in games such as The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game.

Conan The legendary barbarian himself. Each player begins with a Conan, but the two never directly interact. Foes Enemies of Conan controlled by the rival player. Foes form their own separate Foe Deck and Foe Discard Pile. Allies Friends and others who would lend assistance to Conan. Allies often have a requirement which must be met before they can be played, but stay in play until defeated or until Conan rests. Regions Portions of Cimmeria and other lands. Regions influence other cards in play, but only one region may be in play at a time for any given active Conan. Moves Cards played during combat which provide bonuses or other abilities. In order to play moves, the prowess cost of the card must be paid. Items Weapons and gear to assist Conan on his journeys. Most items have a minimum scar requirement which must be met before they can be played. Actions Cards which can be played at various times (as indicated on the card) for their effects.

Each player must provide two decks which meet the appropriate requirements. The Draw Deck must contain at least 34 non foe cards. No more than 3 copies of any given card are allowed, with no more than 1 copy of any unique card. The Foe Deck must contain at least 21 foe cards. No more than 3 copies of any given foe card (or 1 copy of any unique card) are permitted. The total renown of the foes in the Foe Deck must total from 91 to 105 points. This brings the total cards to 55, as reflected in the 55 card starter decks, made up of a 34 cards "Draw Deck" and 21 cards "Foe Deck".
