Bram Stoker's Dracula: The Board Game is a board game released in 1992 for 1–6 players, 180 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Barry Nakazono and David McKenzie and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Cooperative Game, and Team-Based Game.
From the back of the box: "Dracula has come to London, to drink from the heart of the living city. Walking its cobblestone streets he has found new prey, and new beauty; the vibrant Lucy, and Mina, who seems to be the reincarnation of his lost love. When Dracula tries to seduce them, he discovers that he has also made new enemies: Jonathan Harker, Mina's fiance'; Seward, Holmwood, Quincey, Lucy's suitors; and the dangerous Professor Van Helsing, the one man who knows Dracula's Secrets. Dracula's powers are matched against the faith of the Vampire Hunters as they duel for the souls of Lucy and Mina in one of the classic battles of literature and film. Based on the Columbia Pictures movie and beautifully illustrated, this game lets you take the part of one of the Vampire Hunters in their struggle against the majestic Count Dracula and his legions. Fast-playing and easy to learn,the Dracula Board Game can be played by one to six people and captures all the excitement of the movie."
