About the game
Walpurgis Night is upon us and, as is traditional, Count Dracula invites his subjects to celebrate with him in his castles. As his loyal servant, you are tasked with picking up his guests and conveying them to their intended destinations. You will also have to pick up his subjects, each in their own coffin, and convey them to the castles without delay. Carry out your duties efficiently and swiftly and beware of the perils lurking in the shadows! Transport as many passengers in your coach as you can to their chosen destination. They will give you coins for your services and provide food for the vampires. You will need the coins to discreetly transport the coffins on your coach and to buy protections for your journeys. Whenever you drop off guests at their chosen destination, they will leave blood tokens which the vampires (coffins) in the local castle will feed on … but so, too, will any werewolf in that area. When Count Dracula appears (end of the round), the werewolves and vampires will feed on the innocent travelers. The more blood tokens there are in an area, the more food there will be for the vampires, and the more victory points (VP) you will gain (you only gain VP for coffins of your own color).
