Description
Many years after the confrontation with Van Helsing, Dracula landed in Whitby, England once again. The citizens of Whitby sought help from the vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing. Will Van Helsing defeat Dracula before he transforms all the inhabitants into vampires?
In Dracula vs Van Helsing, each player controls one of the title characters. Van Helsing must remove all of Dracula's life points to win, but if Dracula turns all four inhabitants of the same district into vampires first, Dracula wins.
The game lasts at most five rounds. Each round, players play in turn (starting with Dracula), drawing a card, then discarding that card or swapping it with one of the five cards on their rack to trigger the discarded card's ability. Cards come in eight types, each with its own effect. Instead of drawing (and discarding) a card, a player can call for the end of the round. In order to choose this action, at least six cards need to be in the discard pile. After the opponent plays one last turn, the round ends; otherwise, the round ends when the deck is empty.
At the end of a round, players compare the five cards on their rack. Each card corresponds to one of the five districts on the game board. If Dracula has the higher-valued card, one of the humans in this district is converted into a vampire; if Van Helsing is higher, Dracula loses a health point. If one of the game-winning conditions is met, the game ends immediately.

Excellent quick 2 player game with good variety, easy to understand and to get started.
10.0/10
Gen Con 2024. This game is really fun! The basics just boil down to war. You start with your max amount of cards. Each turn you draft a new card and decide if you want to keep it or not. Either way, you'll be discarding a card. Each card you discard has an ability, such as see the top card in the draw pile or change the trump card. At the end of the round, you see who has the highest card value. It's a very straightforward game. It's specifically a 2 player game and the art looks beautiful!

Une pure merveille, chaque partie tourne différemment, un suspens génial, une interaction à son paroxisme
10.0/10
An outstanding two player game where luck and strategy combine to upend all your plans. Really amazing art and a fun dynamic. The theme, though abstract, was layered on charmingly and it creates a great atmosphere for the ruthless and chaotic fun the fame brings to the table. Quick setup and easy to learn. Travels well!
