A determined scientist hunts for an elusive cryptid in this tense asymmetric deduction game for two players.

A competitive and tense asymmetric deduction game for two players.

Description

There's something hiding among us, a creature hitherto undiscovered prowling our very streets. If you track it down, well, that'd be the discovery of the century!

Play as a determined scientist manipulating heat, movement, and sonic sensors to scan the city, identify your quarry's true location, and capture them. Or take the role of a cryptid, snaking your way through shadows and back alleys of the metropolis that surrounds you, eliminating all evidence of your existence as you go, desperately avoiding capture.

Emerging victorious in this high stakes cat-and-mouse chase, played out across a sprawling urban landscape, will require all your ingenuity and foresight.

Cryptid: Urban Legends is a tense asymmetric game of competitive deductive reasoning for two players from the creators of Cryptid.

Players: 2
Ages: 14+
Playing Time: 20-40 minutes
Contents: 43 cards, 10 wooden cubes, 5 wooden discs, 4 acrylic gems
