About the game
As an immortal vampire, you wouldn’t be caught dead in last Millennia’s attire. But how do you truly know if you are up to the latest trends if you cant even see yourself in the mirror? Well a vampire fashion show of course! Vamp on the Batwalk is Trick-Taking Deduction game for 2-6 players where each player competes to become the most fashionable Vampire. Players try to play their best card each show, but the catch is they CAN'T see the exact value of their own cards! Instead they must rely on the information they can see from the other players to make the best choice. Easy to Learn: With a streamlined rulebook, Vamp on the Batwalk can be learned and taught to anyone in about 3 minutes! Fast Engaging Turns: You can't see the value of your cards before you play them, so everyone is watching to see what you play each turn! Memorable Moments: Because players never know exactly the card they will play, players have a “no way!” moment if a better card is played, or they get to have a laugh because they happened to choose the 1 card in their hand that would lose them the show! Awesome Game Box: The game box for Vamp on the Batwalk transforms into a “Batwalk” that doubles as a score tracker! -description from publisher
