The Board Game
This game plays a little different in that one player (Dracula) is pitted against a team of four other players (vampire hunters).
Players hunt down Dracula across Europe, who usually frustrates the hunters by escaping when cornered/discovered. Dracula wins by hiding vampire brides in his trail and waiting a certain number of turns until his vampire track is full. Hunters win by killing dracula, who is even a challenge during the day.
This game is a lot of fun because of the twists each player can pull on the other side. I've probably played this over a dozen times. With new players Dracula usually wins, which makes the players want a rematch even though the game is pretty lengthy (around 4 hours).
Each game card has flavor text on it featuring bits from the book Bram Stoker's Dracula. I also enjoy the secrets whoever plays Dracula can keep from the other players. He can listen to the other players track him down and plot accordingly.
I suggest you play with pennies or something similar to mark places on the board Dracula may have gone to. ...You'll need lots of them.
