This gorgeously weird monster board game warms my Halloween-loving heart, and it's a delight

Twisted Cryptids cards, board, and instructions laid out on a wooden surface.

If you've an affinity for the strange, mysterious world of cryptozoology, Twisted Cryptids is a board game that not only lets you encounter but embody these misunderstood freaks of nature. Vying for a spot in your library next to the best board games, this competitive game of hide and scare-the-pants off some humans will have you lurking, luring, and scaring away all manner of people in an attempt to become the legendary cryptid you've always wanted to be.

The game is an inspired combination of basic deck construction and hand management mechanics with area movement elements that sees players constantly fighting a riot of auto-shifting board pieces. Twisted Cryptids is a super luck-based game, but the fun comes in clocking your opponents' goals and clawing back control, half blind, through hilariously desperate take-that action.
