About the game
Based on the cult television series, the game comes with a coffin for component storage, glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth (bonus --not used in play), a spinner, some tiny wooden stakes and four sets of glow-in-the-dark skeleton parts. You race to be the first to assemble your skeleton on its scaffold. Spin the spinner and hope to get the correct bone. The ring is wild. When you get a stake, you collect one; if you collect three, you return the stakes and a bone to the coffin. In the advanced game, you have the option of challenging another vampire instead. Both challengers spin in turn, and the first to get a ring wins; if the challenger wins, the loser loses a bone. If the challenged wins, the challenger loses two bones.
