Twisted Cryptids: a forest of misdirection

From the creators of Unstable Unicorns and Here to Slay, Twisted Cryptids invites players into a playful forest where legends grow from clever misdirection and social play. As aspiring cryptids, you’ll navigate a love-hate relationship with humans and aim to earn your status by outwitting rivals. Hikers, hunters, and researchers wander the wilderness hoping to catch a glimpse, so you’ll stage hoaxes, plant decoys, and lurk in the shadows of this light strategy card game. It’s a tabletop experience that rewards timing, bluff, and a bit of daring, all without taking itself too seriously.

What makes it fun

Twisted Cryptids offers approachable rules with meaningful decisions that scale to your group’s style. A typical 60-minute session supports 2-4 players, making it a strong candidate for weekly game nights or casual gatherings.

  • Light strategy with room for bluff and clever setup.
  • Take-that mechanics that keep players on their toes without feeling harsh.
  • Hidden trait cards and Cryptid meeples shape decisions and pacing.
  • Tarot-sized cards and durable components designed for repeated play.
  • Snap-ready setup with a visually striking box and lenticular artwork.

Inside the box and beyond
