DESCRIPTION:  
Cryptoglyph is a drawing-and-guessing party game built on ideas in semiotics, the study of perception and meaning-making.  Players are asked to “decode” symbols from a deck of cards in an effort to predict how their peers interpret a picked symbol─think Apples to Apples meets Pictionary.  At the very least, it’s a fun social experiment letting you explore what you and your friends see in the same picture. It’s a game of Rorschach inkblots!
