Conan Trading Card Game by Jason Robinette and Comic Images

[karasuthecrow]

In 2006 the company "Comic Images" released the Conan Collectible Card Game, also know as "Conan Trading Card Game"
There is no much information on the game besides using a system similar to "Lord of the Rings TCG" where you control Conan and try to submit some quest/goals and also control monsters and menaces to get in the way of the others players Conan.

Recently a Youtube channel brought most of the ebay offers and unbox them on 4 videos.









At the beggining of this 2021 the channel "CCG History" interviewed Jason Robinette the game designer, where the explained the game, who was created and why failed, if you want to know about it go to minute 100 to hear only the Conan TCG story.






Personally I never played it, but am a big TCG fan and also a Conan fan, did you play it?, it was good?, what did you thing about the TCG history narrated by the game designer?

I remember this game.  The place where I used to play card at back in the day had a starter deck for players to try it out.

I used to play Lord of the rings and this game was nothing like it, with one player using Conan and the other attacking from all sides.  I never got to give it much of a chance though as no one wanted to try it in my group.  The art on the cards was great though.

There seems to be little to no information about this game, but some Spanish fans re-created the game and add Red Sonja as a new playable character.
We need more Conan collectibles, the IP will not be at full power without them.

That first image is by Mark Schultz and was made for the red nails animated movie, and in one of his art books he mentions how he was never paid for it.  I wonder if the company who produced the cards got permission to use a lot of the art on them.  As far as I know the image was only ever made in black and white and was never coloured by Schultz himself.
