Vampire Cul-de-sac

A tabletop game for up to 4 players ages 8 and up. It is Halloween night and you have to get as many of your trick-or-treaters back home to safety while avoiding getting killed by the very real vampires who are out hunting in your neighborhood.

Each player has a set of pawns representing your trick-or-treaters and 3 dice that match color.

On your turn, take your dice and one die from an opponent of your choice. Roll them.

Rolling 1, 2, 3 means you can move your trick-or-treaters that number of spaces.

Rolling V1 or V2 allows you to move the vampires that number of spaces.

If the + side of the die is rolled, take a die from another player and roll it.

The opponent’s die is treated differently than the player’s own dice. 1, 2, 3 you move your opponent’s trick-or-treater that number of spaces. You cannot move the opponent’s t-o-t to the same space as a vampire.

If the V1 or V2 is rolled, your opponent gets to move a vampire. Vampires can only be moved once on your turn.

If the + is rolled it is treated the same as above.

WINNING

When all trick-or-treaters have been saved (made it to the center space) or killed by vampires, the game is over. The player with the most safe trick-or-treaters wins. Ties are possible.

It is also possible (though rare) that the vampires can win if no trick-or-traters make it to the center.
