About the game
Ages 7 and up "A fiendish game of suspense and fun! Players plot their escape from Dracula's castle and move stealthily towards the exit. But beware! Dracula prowls the castle looking for a victim..." The first player to suffer Dracula's bite becomes the "green vampire" and dons the green vampire's face mask. This vampire then flits from room to room, seeking another victim to take over his role. Any further victims of Dracula go back to the vault and must attempt their escape from square one again. The Dracula and Green Vampire pieces actually engulf the players' playing pieces when they're "bitten". A simple, fun chase game.
