Casual Game Crowdfunding: Bigfoot, Sharks, and Vikings

Bigfoot (Game Salute) – A two-player game in which one player takes the role of Bigfoot and the other plays the Cryptozoologist attempting to capture him. Each turn the Cryptozoologist must lay down two paths, after which Bigfoot chooses which of the paths he will take and which path the other player will take, which lends the game an element of bluffing as the two players try and predict each other’s moves. If Bigfoot sets off sensors or cameras, the Cryptozoologist receives clues to Bigfoot's lairs. If the Cryptozoologist correctly guesses in six rounds all five of the secret lairs, he wins the game.
