Description

“Survive, thrive, dumpster dive.” In a world overrun by humans, you play as one of 12 Cryptid tribes just trying to live the unseen life. Gather resources, evade threats, and gain territory using your abilities as either a Relict (Bigfoot, Jackalopes, Mole People, Yeti, or Skunk Ape), a Supernatural (Chupacabra, Werewolf, or Jersey Devil), or an Extraterrestrial (Aliens, Corn Dwellers, Mothman, or Flatwoods Monster). With 90 Resource cards and 21 Threat cards, plus picture dice and dragon dice, and a few minor expansions, you can play up to six players for 1-3 hours. Rules include basic and advanced play, which centers around special missions for each cryptid, from the benign (Bigfoot’s ecological mission to protect habitat and wildlife) to the horrible (Mole People’s revenge scheme to blow up the Yellowstone caldera). Fun stuff: Ally Species—make friends with animals! Ally Cryptids—NPCs: Wendigo, Uk’tena, Hodag, and Fresno Nightcrawler Hoax Cryptids: Saucer Drone, Bigfoot Hoax, Huge Owl, Crazed Razorback Expansions include: Military Ruse, Zombie Outbreak, and Dinosaur Hunt! Also more human threats and more resources! —description from the designer
