About the game

What you do in a play session

Fury of Dracula (Second Edition) puts one player in the role of the Count himself, while up to four vampire hunters – drawn from Bram Stoker's classic – strive to stop his conquest of Europe. Dracula moves secretly using a deck of location cards, leaving trails of encounters, clues, and events that the hunters must decipher. Each round the vampire can shift form (wolf, bat, or mist) and employ special abilities, while the hunters, each with distinct powers, roll dice to explore, investigate, and fight. The Count's goal is to earn victory points by building an undead empire; the hunters win by destroying Dracula before he reaches the required score. The game blends dice rolling, point‑to‑point movement across a detailed European map, secret unit deployment, and constant deduction. Team‑based mechanics let hunters cooperate, yet each brings unique abilities that shape strategy. With playtime ranging from two to three hours, tension rises with every new clue and every vampire transformation, delivering a gothic horror experience full of suspense and tactical depth. Perfect for fans of thematic, cooperative investigations and a solid strategic challenge.
