In Cryptid Forest, you are a cryptid who is drawn to shiny things. When you see the glowing embers from the campfires, you can't help yourself! As scary & easily distracted, yet misunderstood cryptids, your goal is simple: collect more shiny campfires than your opponent. Teleport with the Yeti, travel farther with the Sasquatch, fly with the Mothman or use the Skunk Ape's terrible stench to relocate campers.

Cryptid Forest is an addictive duel game that utilizes a unique hand management mechanic to allow players their choice of a number of important actions! Collect a large set of cards to travel farther, discard cards to collect the shiny fires and leave footprints to draw attention to your rival cryptid, or discard any 1 cryptid card to perform its special ability, even if it isn't yours!

Each turn, move the Park Security pawn to try to deter your rival cryptid from their goal. If either cryptid gets their picture taken 3 times, they lose!
