Dracula vs Van Helsing

One day, many years after the clash between Dracula and Van Helsing, a ship is once again washed ashore on the beach of Whitby, England. There are no survivors on board, the ship is stained with blood, and the hold is full of sinister crates of earth. Realizing that Dracula has landed in England once again, the citizens of Whitby rush to ask for help from the vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing. It is right here, tonight, that their final battle will take place. Will Van Helsing manage to defeat Dracula before all the citizens of Whitby are turned into vampires? A mix of bluff and strategy for two players in which you will take on the role of one of the two characters: Van Helsing or Dracula. Van Helsing wins the game if he manages to kill Dracula by removing all of his Health Points (HP). Dracula wins the game by turning all 4 inhabitants of the same District into vampires or by surviving until the end of the game. The game takes place over a maximum of five rounds, and each round ends when the players have resolved all five districts. Each player has 5 cards, one for each district. The cards have a value and an ability. Each round, players draw a card and can either discard it or swap it with one of their 5 cards. When a card is discarded, its ability is applied (such as revealing cards or swapping cards). Players resolve each district by comparing the value of the two cards in each district to determine the winner. The winner, depending on their role, turns a human token into a vampire or removes one health point from Dracula. The game ends immediately if Dracula loses his health points or if he turns all 4 inhabitants of a district into vampires. Otherwise, the player who achieves their objective wins the game after the 5 rounds.
