Dracula's Feast is a board game released in 2017 for 4–8 players, 10–15 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Peter C. Hayward and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Memory.
Dracula, bored and hungry, has thrown a masquerade ball, and invited all the townsfolk for dinner (and maybe a few for dessert). The problem: Some monsters in clever disguises have crashed the party. The bigger problem: Van Helsing is afoot, and everything is at stake. It's murder on the dance floor, but which monster will divert attention to the others and have the feast to themselves? Will the Werewolf sate its hunger? Will Dr. Jekyll unleash her wild side? Or will Van Helsing save the townspeople and ruin the party for everyone? Dracula's Feast is social game of logical deduction for 4 to 8 players. It takes 5 minutes to learn, and less than 10 minutes to play. Each turn, players guess, or dance with another player. Once they have enough information, they reveal their role and accuse the entire party - but certain characters have unique victory conditions, and so it's a race against the rest of the party to be the first to win.
Dracula's Feast supports 4–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dracula's Feast is 10–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dracula's Feast for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
