Setup
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!
Setup
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.
Setup
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!
Setup
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.
Gameplay
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.
Gameplay
It's the start of a new day and the Humans are out to play! During the Dawn Phase, the First Player will flip over the top Event card and resolve it from top to bottom.
Gameplay
During the Day, you will use your Cryptid charm to move Humans around The Wilderness in an attempt to increase your Myth. You'll get 3 turns each Round, and on your turn you can take 1 of the following Actions:
Gameplay
Cryptids have been spotted in The Wilderness! At Dusk, an Encounter will occur, revealing what each Cryptid is (or isn’t) doing at that Site.
The Sighting will happen at the Site with the most Humans and at least 1 Hiding Spot! If there's a tie, the First Player for the round decides which Site the Encounter happens at.
Gameplay
In player order, Cryptids at the Site of the Encounter will reveal the top card of the respective Hiding Spot deck! Gain (or lose) Myth based on the distribution of Humans at the site. Resolve the effect of the Sighting card, and remove your Hiding Spot from the Site.
Gameplay
Under the cover of night, the Cryptids scheme! In player order, take the following steps:
Once all players have taken the above steps, pass the First Player marker to the right and begin the next Round!
Game's End
All good things must come to an end! At the end of Round 5, flip over the remaining Sightings in your Stacks and your Hidden Trait before determining the winner of the game.
#Mythical
The player with the greatest total Myth wins the game and is deemed the True Legend!
