One card from victory. Everyone at the table knows it.Cryptid Smash is a fast-paced standalone party card game where cryptids collide, plans unravel and the lead can disappear in a single turn.
Match colours, symbols and effects as you race to empty your hand. Reverse play, skip turns, force draws, chain effects and sabotage your opponents at exactly the wrong moment for them and the perfect moment for you.
And when you are down to your final card, don't forget to shout SMASH.
Easy to learn. Very hard to predict.
Inside are 108 unique cards featuring creatures inspired by real-world folklore, brought to life through original hand-drawn artwork from the world of Kryptothera. Tactical cards let you manipulate the table, while powerful Legendary cards can turn the game upside down for everyone at once.
From a two-player duel to a table of ten, Cryptid Smash is built for quick rules, big reactions, dramatic reversals and approximately 20 minutes of carefully planned chaos.
2–10 players · ~20 minutes · Ages 7+
No Kryptothera base game required. Cryptid Smash is a complete standalone game.
