Till Dawn

About this board game

Till Dawn is a 20–30-minute game for 4–8 vampires, with an expansion that increases the player count to 12. Across three nights, the vampires leave their coffins to hunt for blood while the threat of sunrise steadily approaches.

During each hunt, a deck of cards passes from vampire to vampire. Each player takes one card, reads it aloud, and passes the remaining deck onward. Feeding cards give all vampires blood tokens, but the deck also includes dangerous events, vampire slayers, a vicious werewolf, invitations from the elders, and the creeping advance of sunrise.

The central decision is how long to keep hunting. At any time during a hunt, a vampire may return to their coffin to protect their precious blood tokens. Retreat too early and you may miss the rewards still waiting in the deck; push your luck too far and the approaching dawn may prove costly.

• Play over three nights of vampire hunting.
• Pass the hunt deck, draw cards, and read them aloud.
• Gain blood tokens from feeding cards.
• Choose when to return to your coffin and secure your tokens.

Presented in a coffin-shaped box, Till Dawn includes approximately 120 cards, more than one hundred tokens, eight character cards, and a night advancement track. An additional pack of four characters is available to expand the game for up to 12 players.

With its escalating dangers and timing decisions, Till Dawn turns every hunt into a question of nerve: leave the night early with what you have, or stay out and risk everything before sunrise.
