Cryptid
Cryptid is a deduction board game for 3–5 players: a mysterious creature hides somewhere on a modular map, and every player holds one secret clue about where it is. Ask sharp questions, cross-reference the answers, and be the first to pinpoint the creature's lair. It's coming soon to BoardGame Center.
