Vampires of the Night

About this board game

Vampires of the Night is a 20-minute game for 2–4 players, released in 2009, about helping a group of vampires survive a garlic-filled castle.

A wicked vampire hunter has emptied an entire sack of garlic throughout an old, abandoned castle. To help the vampires, players use the little bat to magically move them around while getting rid of the unpleasant garlic.

The castle holds a dangerous complication. If garlic falls into the dungeon, its nasty smell spreads to the rest of the vampires, making every move important as you try to deal with the mess.

• For 2–4 players
• Approximately 20 minutes of play time
• A magical bat for moving the vampires
• Garlic that must be cleared from the castle
• Glow-in-the-dark game pieces

With its unusual vampire theme and clear garlic-related challenge, Vampires of the Night brings a playful sense of danger to the table. The glow-in-the-dark pieces add a standout visual feature, allowing the game to be played in daylight or from dusk until dawn.

Whether played during the day or in the dark, the game centers on managing the garlic before it reaches the dungeon and spreads its smell. Help the vampires, guide them with the little bat, and try to keep the abandoned castle from becoming even more troublesome.
