📖 About This Game
As a vampire hunter, you are called upon to Transylvania to battle the most feared mythical creatures who live there!
The game starts by giving each player 5 cards, and placing 4 vampire cards face up in the middle of the table.
On your turn, you play a card with the matching color next to a vampire, and when a vampire already has 4 matching cards next to it, you can defeat it by playing the corresponding weapon.
Some of the cards allow you to take actions:
Garlic cards cause the next player to miss a turn
Mirror cards allow you to swap your remaining cards with another player
Coffin cards will wake up a new vampire
Bite cards remove all cards lying around a vampire
When defeating a vampire, the person who played the weapon collects the vampire card, and gains the 1-4 points shown on him. The first player to collect 6 points will be declared the terror of all vampires!
