Cryptid
You've studied the footage, connected the dots, and gathered what meager evidence you could. You're close — soon the whole world will know the truth behind the Cryptid. A group of like-minded cryptozoologists have come together to finally uncover the elusive creature, but the glory of discovery is too rich to share. Without giving away some of what you know you will never succeed in locating the beast, but reveal too much and your name will be long forgotten!
What is Cryptid
You've studied the footage, connected the dots, and gathered what meager evidence you could. You're close — soon the whole world will know the truth behind the Cryptid. A group of like-minded cryptozoologists have come together to finally uncover the elusive creature, but the glory of discovery is too rich to share. Without giving away some of what you know you will never succeed in locating the beast, but reveal too much and your name will be long forgotten!
Cryptid is a unique deduction game of honest misdirection in which players must try to uncover information about their opponents' clues while throwing them off the scent of their own. Each player holds one piece of evidence to help them find the creature, and on their turn they can try to gain more information from their opponents. Be warned; give too much away and your opponents might beat you to the mysterious animal and claim the glory for themselves!
The game includes a modular board, five clue books, and a deck of set-up cards with hundreds of possible set-ups across two difficulty levels. It is also supported by an entirely optional digital companion, allowing for faster game set-up and a near-infinite range of puzzles.

Sale de la colección porque mis compis se pican si hay un poco de charlita picona con este juego, no me apetece jugar en silencio ni que nadie se sienta peor por no "ver" las cosas. También me da la sensación de que no deduces tanto, más bien descartas de forma mecánica.
EPICO. cada partida a este juego es una anécdota distinta, desde gente gritando me duele el cerebelo hasta gente pateando la silla por no encontrar al Chobi. Un juego que no es para todo el mundo.
Juego deductivo de corte geométrico muy interesante en el que para encontrar la ubicación del animal debes hacer conjeturas de cuáles son las pistas verdaderas que tienen los contrincantes. También es interesante que cada vez que cometas un error al intentar ubicar al bicho, tengas que dar más información a los demás.
An amazing game of deduction and bluffing, wish there was a cooperative mode somehow.
Infravalorado. Mereció más. La pena: que al menos requiere tres jugadores.
