## Description
The Night, long silent, is rising again, spreading its tendrils of evil through the empty and unwatched backwaters of the world. Vampires are multiplying, turning innocents into casualties... or into new members of their ranks. Can the Order of Vampire Hunters regain its former strength and push back this rising tide of evil? The Order of Vampire Hunters is a fully cooperative, miniatures-based board game for 1-4 players.

This game brings the dark imagery of vampire lore, straight from classic stories in movies and books, to your tabletop. You take on the role of a newly recruited Vampire Hunter, thrown into a den with a small band of comrades. Armed with stakes, crossbows, and holy water, your goal is to destroy the creatures of the Night. But strategy goes beyond direct combat: you can craft makeshift weapons on the fly for more destructive power, tear down window coverings to burn vampires with rays of Sunlight, or even drag screaming vampires outside the den with the Extractor. Teaming up for combination attacks is crucial, and staying focused on your mission is essential to power your special abilities. But watch the clock: at sundown, the hunter becomes the hunted, and you become the prey!

Optional game modes add to the replayability. You can play standalone games or follow the full campaign, upgrading your weapons, equipment, and special skills as you advance in the Order. For those who enjoy a touch of competition, there's a semi-cooperative mode where your skills are rated, giving bragging rights to the best Hunter. And if your Hunter gets turned, you can even play on as a Vampire! The Order of Vampire Hunters allows you to customize your gaming experience, ensuring the fun never ends.
