Cryptid Chess
Cryptid Chess was one of the very first projects I made with my fellow group members Jaime Pawlowski, Lucia Möllenbruck, and Julian Pogrzeba.
Cryptid Chess is a card game with hand-crafted figures and a physical board.
Jaime made the hand-crafted figurines, Lucia made the cover art (shown above) as well as the board design, and Jupo was in charge of the documentation.
I was in charge of designing the cards, One example of the finished cards is shown on the left.
