Dracula Must Die!

Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black unfathomed lakes, still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to its close. Count Dracula, lord of corruption, master of the undead, and monarch of all vampires, is about to act on his long-contemplated plan for world domination. Abraham Van Helsing, and his loyal vampire hunter companions, must battle against all manner of horror to save the people of Klausenberg and march upon Castle Dracula. Once inside, can they fend off the three bloodthirsty Brides, in order to infiltrate Dracula's secret tomb, deep within the walls of the ancient castle, and ultimately defeat the dreaded Prince of Darkness? Consisting of one 90-card deck, the game pits four to eight players against each other. One team takes on the role of Van Helsing, assorted pitchfork-waving villagers, god-fearing priests, and various stalwart companions, and the other team assumes control of Dracula, the Brides, the Hound of Dracula, and numerous hissing, bloodsucking vampires. Each player must manage his hand of cards effectively to win. Gameplay is swift and slaughterous, with vampires staked, maidens drained, holy water administered, vampiric teeth exposed, and crucifixes brandished, frequently.
