The city streets are alive with an enigmatic creature that has eluded capture for years. The evidence is overwhelming, but the scientific community remains skeptical, unwilling to believe without concrete proof. It's up to you, a determined scientist, to embark on a mission to track down this cryptid and bring it to justice.

As a scientist, you'll have access to a range of tools and technologies to aid you in your quest. You'll manipulate heat, movement, and sonic sensors to scan the city, identifying your quarry's true location. With each scan, you'll gather valuable information that will help you narrow down the search area and eventually capture the cryptid.

Alternatively, you can take on the role of the cryptid itself. Sneaking through the shadows and back alleys of the metropolis, you'll need to eliminate all evidence of your existence as you go. You'll be on the run, desperately avoiding capture, using your cunning and agility to outsmart your pursuers.

The game is played on a sprawling urban landscape, with 41 cards, 10 plastic cubes, and 9 plastic discs representing different locations, characters, and evidence. The goal is to be the first player to capture the cryptid or eliminate all evidence of its existence.

Cryptid: Urban Legends is a tense, asymmetric game of competitive deductive reasoning that requires both strategy and quick thinking. It's perfect for two players who enjoy a challenge and love exploring the depths of mystery and intrigue. So, gather your tools, sharpen your senses, and prepare to embark on a thrilling adventure that will test your skills to the limit. Who will be the first to capture the cryptid and bring it to justice? The answer is up to you.
