PRESENTATION

Fury of Dracula

hUNTERS AND HUNTED

One player impersonating Dracula against up to four players as hunters who try to find Dracula and eliminate him, while he moves across Europe and creates new vampires. Hunters should concentrate to look for Dracula in the biggest possible area and collect items, events and tickets to have enough means in hand when they find Dracula.

A round of the game comprises a Hunter phase of Day and Night, followed by a Dracula phase. Each hunter resolves a day action, then each hunter resolves a night action, always in the order of the activation number - Movement, Supply, Trade, Special, Reserve ticket, Rest or Search. Hunters may communicate any time, also about cards in their hand, albeit with Dracula sharing the information; only in a Trade action you can communicate without Dracula listening.

In his phase, Dracula moves across sea or roads, not along railway tracks, using face-down location cards on his track; a new Dracula location must be adjacent to his current location. Then he places an Encounter card, which puts obstacles for the hunters, with traps or creating of new vampires. Dracula wins, if he reaches case 13 of his influence track. Influence is gained from matured encounter cards, from resolving the „Fangs“ combat card and from defeating a hunter. The Hunters win together, when Dracula has taken 15 damage and is defeated.

Adventurous fun, which, however, needs concentrated play and optimum use of resources from the hunters! The new edition has a new design and was streamlined, the rules could be better, but if you work your way through them you will have a fantastic time!
