Someone has sabotaged your colony starship! You crash land on a frozen, uncharted planet, your ship breaking apart. At night, anyone left on the surface will freeze to death. Your one hope is to get your crewmembers down into the warm, subterranean caverns before the sun goes down.

What Is Cryo?

What Is Cryo?

Cryo is a game for 2–4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 60–90 minutes to play. The gametime is pretty accurate once you know the rules, and the 14+ rating is based on complexity, not content. There is also an unofficial solo mode currently being developed by co-designer Luke Laurie.

Cryo was designed by Tom Jolly and Luke Laurie, and published by Z-Man Games, with illustrations by Bree Lindsoe, Jasmine Radue, and Samuel R. Shimota, and sculpting by Samuel R. Shimota. It retails for $59.99 and can be purchased on Amazon or directly from the Z-Man Games webstore.
