About the Game

Cryptic is a party game whereby you create a rule to guide other people in the game through a series of cards with quotes and images on them. Players simultaneously receive a rule and path of cards, give a rule and path of cards, as well as try to deduce the rules on other's paths.

A word of warning, one must take caution with your choice of rule. It must be obvious enough to guide someone correctly through the path of cards, but cryptic enough to not be easily guessed by onlookers...
