What to Expect
You play as a vampire competing with 1–3 opponents to collect Citizen tokens across districts. The game lasts up to three rounds or ends immediately if a player collects a specific token set. On your turn you draw a card, choose to replace a card in your cardholder or discard it, trigger the discard effect, and place it in a district. When four cards are placed at a district, players compare strength to take tokens.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for players who like quick, tactical card games; with a 10+ age recommendation and ~30 minute playtime it's an accessible title for casual groups and game-night sides. Some familiarity with hand management and hidden information is helpful but not required.
How It Works
Core mechanics are Hand Management, Area Majority / Influence and Force Commitment. Each turn you draw the top card and decide whether to insert it into your cardholder or discard it; discarded cards resolve effects immediately and are placed in front of an open district. When a district reaches four cards it is resolved by comparing the revealed card strengths, awarding Citizen tokens. Game end conditions are an instant win via token sets or scoring after round three.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Maxime Rambourg and Théo Rivière and published by Mandoo Games, Blood Hunt is described as a spin-off of Dracula vs Van Helsing. It packages area-majority comparisons and immediate card effects into concise ~30-minute rounds.
