Question 6

How do I play Cryptid?

Accepted Answer

Each of 3–5 players has one secret clue about the habitat and may never lie. Question another player about a space: they place a disc if it could be the habitat, or a cube if it cannot. Search by placing your own disc; if everyone else also discs, you win. A cube on a space blocks that space forever, so you must always give new information.

Question 7

How do I play Camel Up?

Accepted Answer

Each turn take a betting ticket, place a spectator tile, roll a pyramid die, or secretly bet on the overall winner or loser. Camels stack and carry riders. A leg ends after five dice; the race ends when any camel crosses the finish line. Most Egyptian Pounds wins.

Question 8

Is Board Game Xtreme free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Playing here is free in any modern web browser. Sign in with Google or play as a guest.
