This is the scenario Masters of the Night throws you into, a cooperative game for 1 to 5 players where the objective is simple yet challenging: survive and establish your dominion before the mysterious Agents of the city stop you. You and your fellow vampires must hide in dirt-filled boxes in a train car, a far-from-glamorous situation for those who once had their days of glory. But the time to reclaim control is now! Each player takes on the role of a member of the vampire family, each with their own unique abilities, which adds an interesting strategic layer. The board is modular, so each game offers a different city layout, ensuring high replayability and that you never quite know what to expect. Using an action point system, you must plan your moves wisely, exploring the city, dealing with threats, and strengthening your position, all while trying to uncover who these Agents hot on your trail are. It's a race against time to turn this new city into your haven, or it will become your family's final grave. Do you have what it takes to become the true Masters of the Night? ## FAQ ### How many players does Masters of the Night support? The game is fully cooperative and can be played by 1 to 5 players.
