(More customer reviews)I heard about this game and then saw it in the store and thought I would check it out. The game puts you in the role of a vampire hunter. The object is to make your way through the vampire's castle, reach his inner sanctum before he escapes, and kill him.
The innovative thing about this game is the "castle" in the middle of the board. The castle is a lantern of sorts, which provides either red or blue light, depending on the setting. Red light represents day, blue light represents night.
Depending on whether it's day or night, the game board changes! Tiles representing tombstones or villagers by day become zombies, hidden weapons, or werewolves at night. Even the faces of the dice change!
The changing aspect of the game is what makes it really neat. However, I'm not sure the game has a lot of re-play value. The gimmick is neat, but really only delights the players once, after that, it's your standard "get to the end" board game. In addition, the game says it must be played in a "dimly lit room." What it really means is a very very dark room, and you have to sit right on top of the board.
One last aspect of the game is the pieces used to represent the vampire hunters. There are two men and two women figures, and all are great. They are well detailed (to be plastic), and were really a pleasant surprise.
To sum it up, this game gets great points for originality, but lacks replay value beyond that you might find in other "get to the end games" like chutes and ladders or candyland.

Vampire Hunter is a spooky, suspenseful game you play in the dark. Collect weapons to battle the vampire before he escapes. But beware...the game changes completely when the mysterious tower light switches from day to night. Requires 4 "C" batteries (not included).
