How to play?

   1) Game for 5–14 players and a host
   The host – an adult or child who can read well – acts as the storyteller. The cards should be divided into 2 piles – character cards and item cards – and distributed among participants according to the number of players. Once everyone receives their role, they sit at a sufficient distance from each other.
   The castle guest cards have 2 positions: normal (human) and flipped, with the vampire symbol facing up (has turned into a vampire). At the beginning, all guests are simply humans, so they should hold their cards in the normal position (picture facing them, so others cannot see the role).
   The vampire hunter's goal is to destroy all vampires. The vampires' goal is to bite the vampire hunter. The castle guests' goal is to not become vampires and help the vampire hunter defeat the villains.
   After the players are seated, the host begins narrating the story. During the rules explanation, they read it from a sheet. The left column of the table contains the script, and the right column indicates the participants' actions in italics. These actions should be articulated until all players remember what to do at each moment.
   The game continues until the vampire hunter exterminates all vampires, in which case he and the surviving guest players win, or until the vampires bite the hunter, in which case the vampires win, as no one in the castle can resist them anymore.

   2) Game for 3–5 players
   If there are few participants, a simplified version without a host will do. The role deck is formed from guests and one vampire. The other castle guests have suddenly disappeared from this storyline. There is no night phase. Players immediately discuss the situation in the castle, while the vampire tries to divert suspicion away from themselves, and the guests try to guess who the vampire is.
   The vampire wins if they are left alone with the last guest, while the guests win if they kill the vampire.

Number of players: 3-15
