About this board game
Vampire: The Masquerade – Vendetta is a 3–6-player game of area control, bluff, and treachery that plays in about 30 minutes. Set across three ages, it casts players as immortal vampires competing to build the greatest influence and power.
At the beginning of the game, you draft cards to shape your options. During each age, you gradually draw more cards from your deck: you keep all the cards you had during the previous age and add new ones to your growing arsenal.
Use cards and blood to compete for control of influential humans. Once you gain control, you can feed on them and make them your servants, turning each struggle for territory and influence into a contest of careful timing and calculated risk.
- Area control: Contest influential humans and fight to establish dominance.
- Bluff and treachery: Scheme against opponents while concealing your intentions.
- Growing card options: Draft at the start, then expand your available cards as each age begins.
- Three-age struggle: Pursue the most influence over the course of the game.
Every encounter also reveals more about the rival vampires around the table. You learn their powers and abilities during the centuries-long struggle, but they learn about yours as well. Since you cannot know which new tricks opponents have added since your last encounter, each age brings fresh uncertainty.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Vendetta, gaining power is only part of the challenge. You must judge when to commit blood, when to mislead your rivals, and how to adapt as everyone’s arsenal changes. The result is a compact battle for influence where knowledge, deception, and timing all matter.
