Heroes and monsters fight to death in the streets of victorian London!

Each player take a secret faction card, that will say if he is at the side of the "Heroes" or at the side of "Monsters".

During the game, a player can either play a card from his hand or draw a new card. Each card will give you "black" points (if you are a Monster) or "white" points (if you are a Hero). Also, each card represents a character with a special skill that you can use in your favor. Dracula can control the forces of darkness. Van Helsing can destroy the undead. Frankenstein's monster can run havoc. Arsene Lupin can steal a card from another player. Jekyll and Hyde discard each other...

The game ends when the last card is drawn. Then, each player reveals his faction and count his points. There can be only one winner!

Monsters vs. Heroes: Victorian Nightmares — first released as London After Midnight — is very easy to learn and very fun to play. There is a total of 18 different characters, in a deck of 30 cards. Some of these characters are unique and deadly, like the werewolf, but others are more common and less powerful, like the brave young men. In addition to this, each faction card will give you an extra point if you have a certain character in front of you at the end of the game. That means that some cards are more useful for some players than for others.

¡Héroes y monstruos combaten a muerte en las calles del Londres victoriano!

Cada jugador coge una carta de facción secreta, que dirá si está del lado de los "Héroes" o de los "Monstruos".

Durante la partida, un jugador puede, o bien jugar una carta desde su mano, o bien robar una nueva carta. Cada carta proporciona puntos negros (si estás del lado de los monstruos) o blancos (si estás del lado de los héroes). Además, cada una de estas cartas representa a un personaje con una habilidad especial que puedes usar en tu beneficio. Drácula puede controlar las fuerzas de la oscuridad. Van Helsing puede destruir a los no-muertos. El monstruo de Frankenstein puede provocar el caos. Arsene Lupin puede robar una carta a otro jugador. Jekyll y Hyde se descartan mutuamente...

El juego termina cuando se roba la última carta del mazo. Entonces, cada jugador revela su carta de facción y cuenta los puntos. ¡Sólo puede haber un ganador!

"London after midnight" es muy fácil de aprender y muy divertido de jugar. Contiene 18 personajes distintos, en un mazo con un total de 30 cartas. Algunos de estos personajes son únicos y letales, como el hombre lobo, mientras que otros son más comunes y menos poderosos, como los jóvenes aguerridos. Además, cada carta de facción te dará un punto extra si tienes a cierto personaje frente a ti al final del juego. Esto significa que algunas cartas son más útiles para unos jugadores que para otros.

Tendrás que engañar, jugar de forma estratégica y traicionar a tus amigos. ¡¡Si te gustan los juegos de cartas rápidos y las películas de terror antiguas, "London after midnight" está hecho para ti!!
