Van Helsing*
There are always 5 characters in play: Dracula and 4 hunters. If there are fewer than 5 players, some will control multiple hunters, working together as a team.
The game board features three levels of Dracula's castle. Characters can move into adjacent rooms, search for items like garlic, holy water, daggers, or brides, or attack other characters. Successful attacks cause opponents to lose "blood points." A hunter who loses all their blood points can be transformed into a vampire, switching sides to assist Dracula.
Hunters win by killing Dracula, while Dracula wins by turning all hunters into vampires or by returning to his coffin with 4 brides.
