Cryptid

Excellent •Tight loop •Variable board •Variable scenario •Mechanical Deduction •Silent game ~Scenario tome Clue type game. I would play this over Clue, anytime. Playable in quiet contemplation, as all actions and responses are indicated with tokens. The only downside to this game is the potential for the NESSESARY INDIVIDUAL PLAYER SCENARIO BOOK to be misplaced or damaged. Finite but massive set of scenarios. You technicaly only need to read your clue from it once per game, but might continuously double check. Odd they don't include a clue reference card deck.

A purer evolution of Clue that focuses on the fun part (deducing the logic puzzle) and removes the most annoying feature (being two steps away from a door, rolling a one, and then getting pulled into a room all the way across the board).

For what this game is it is perfect. SUPER simple rule set yet you can still be left with your brain hurting trying to figure out where the cryptid is. gem to teach, gem to play. just purely a gem

Cryptide est un des meilleurs jeux de déduction !! Avec des règles accessibles et un rappel au Mastermind, on se creuse la tête tout au long de la partie pour tenter de deviner les indices des autres et en déduire l’emplacement du cryptide. Mais il y a beaucoup d’interaction entre les joueurs et c’est assez plaisant. On s’interroge les uns les autres, on pose des cubes ou des disques et on discute autour de la table, souvent avec beaucoup de mauvaise foi. Alors on va sortir souvent Cryptide, on va kiffer se creuser la tête et on va vraiment transpirer avec le mode difficile. Un jeu obligatoire dans toute ludothèque d’amateurs de jeux de déduction. https://undecent.fr/2022/11/16/cryptide/

I am a huge fan of logical deduction games and this is an easy sell for me. Each player gets a different clue and must try to figure out every other clue to find the correct spot on the map. Easy to learn but hard to master, especially the advanced mode.
