About Crypt

"I cannot wait for more people to try this game.

As intoxicating and intricate as playing with the OG Magic sets, with tons of mid 1970s fantasy charm." -catt

FAQs

What is this game?

Crypt is the world's first collectible trading board game with hex tiles and cards of different rarities used to build decks and battle.

How do I start playing?

Begin by collecting tiles and cards, then create your deck and challenge opponents.

Each player needs:
1 Starter Pack
1+ Hex Booster
3-4+ Booster Packs
(25 cards minimum, 9 per booster)
2+ six-sided dice (2D6)

Can I trade hexes and cards with friends?

Absolutely! Trading is a key part of the game, letting you customize your deck and strategy.

How many players can join?

The game supports any number of players for exciting battles!

Each player brings their own deck and hexes, then all hexes are combined and shuffled together into one shared hex pile. Players draw from this hex pile as they explore the Crypt!

A group of 2-6 players is optimal, but more is possible.

Are there expansions planned?

Yes, new hexes and cards will be added to keep gameplay fresh. We hope to be able to release one set per year.

Where can I buy the game and accessories?

You can purchase the game and extras through our website and select retailers. Please note the game is only available in the US right now, but we want to make it available to an international audience as soon as possible.
