## Description
In 1887, a vampire awakens, hungry and ready to cause chaos! The brave hunters unite to track down this creature of the night, but there's a catch: Renfield, the loyal henchman, is around to mess with their plans. Nosferatu is the kind of card game that keeps you on the edge of your seat, blending strategy, bluffing, and teamwork. On one side, the vampire and Renfield try to manipulate everyone into becoming a meal. On the other, the hunters must identify the bloodsucker before he plays five 'bite' cards and wins. If the hunters miss the stake and hit one of their own, it's game over – they lose! Each player (except Renfield) starts with a few cards from the library, which contains a mix of rumors, spells, bites, and night cards. Five special rituals are laid out, and once they're completed, the hunters win. Renfield sets up a 'clock' with night cards and a 'dawn' card. Rounds involve drawing cards, discarding, placing cards in an action pile, and drawing from the clock. If the 'dawn' card appears, the game can end right there with the stake flying! If not, the game continues, with the vampire gaining more time and the hunters racing against the clock to complete the rituals. It's pure tension and twists!
