The Vampire Game

2–4 players · 0 min · 7+

Roll dice (one for you and one for the vampire) and move your piece towards the castle where the princesses are being held prisoner and the vampire onto one of the bat squares. You can pick up a piece of garlic to protect yourself if you land on a garlic square. If you reach the castle, you can pick up a princess and start moving her back to the village. If the vampire lands on you and you do not have garlic, your piece is returned to the village. If you do not have garlic, the vampire bites you. Vampire bites are recorded by removing the hat from the vampire and using a red ink pad to stamp the back of your hand. If you are bitten three times, you are out of the game. The first player to rescue two princesses or the last remaining player is the winner.
