Twisted Cryptids
Description
Description
It’s so hard to feel seen as a Cryptid these days. In this easy-to-learn strategy game, you’ll navigate your love-hate relationship with humans and outwit your fellow Cryptids to earn your status as a true legend. As hikers, hunters, and researchers scatter across the wilderness hoping to catch a glimpse of you, you’ll stage elaborate hoaxes, plant perfect decoys, and lurk discreetly in the shadows to build up your myth. You might even expose your true self once in a while, but be warned: vulnerability can come at a price.
Choose Your Cryptid
Pick your favorite Cryptid and get ready to play! Each Cryptid card features your unique Cryptid Power that you can leverage to your advantage during the Day Phase.
Once per round, you may discard a card to use that Power on your turn!
Discover Your Hidden Trait
There's more to each Cryptid than meets-the-eye. You'll shuffle the Hidden Trait cards and deal two of them to each player. Choose the one that speaks to you and place it face down next to your Cryptid card. This card is part of your Cryptid identity now, and it comes with a secret bonus objective to help boost your score at the end of the game.
Prepare the Wilderness
Unfold the Wilderness board and place it in reach of all players – this is where all the action happens during the game! Next to the name of each location you'll see 2 of 3 symbols.
Place the corresponding Human tokens on each location to populate The Wilderness!
Go Into Hiding
Why are you standing there? You need to hide!
Set up your 9 Sighting cards in 3 Stacks, then place your corresponding Hiding Spot tokens in the Wilderness.
If there's an Encounter at the Site of one of your Hiding Spots, you'll have to reveal the top card of that Stack.
It's Game Time
Deal 5 Action cards to each player and voila – you're ready to play Twisted Cryptids!
Gameplay takes place over the course of 5 rounds, each divided into 4 phases: Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Night.
