About the Game

As a vampire hunter, you are called upon to Transylvania to battle the most feared mythical creatures who live there!

The game starts by giving each player 5 cards, and placing 4 vampire cards face up in the middle of the table. On your turn, you play a card with the matching color next to a vampire, and when a vampire already has 4 matching cards next to it, you can defeat it by playing the corresponding weapon. Some of the cards allow you to take actions:

Garlic cards cause the next player to miss a turn Mirror cards allow you to swap your remaining cards with another player Coffin cards will wake up a new vampire Bite cards remove all cards lying around a vampire

When defeating a vampire, the person who played the weapon collects the vampire card, and gains the 1-4 points shown on him. The first player to collect 6 points will be declared the terror of all vampires!
