Count Dracula is dead for the second and final time, and unfortunately, he didn’t leave a will. As one of his favorite vampiric students, you believe that you should be first in line to inherit. However, all the other acolytes feel the same way! Connive to collect the best mementos for yourself, splitting and sharing Count Dracula’s possessions so you get the lion’s share of the loot and the bat’s share of the glory.

Each round, you’ll draw 4 cards from the deck, containing some of Dracula’s belongings that need to be divided up. Then, you’ll split those cards into two piles between you and one of your neighbors.

They’ll choose one of the piles and give the other one back to you, while you do the same thing with the opposite neighbor. Try to split the piles so that you get the cards you need while preventing your opponents from getting the stuff they want!

Your inheritance is made up of all the cards in front of you, and will grow each round. After placing all the cards you receive that turn into your inheritance, you can sacrifice a single card. Sacrificing a card removes it from your inheritance, but can win you Dracula’s Favor from beyond the grave.

The game ends after 6 rounds, shown on the Central Board in the center of the table. The player with the most Vampire Points (VPs) wins the game, ascending to the highest echelons of vampiric society!
