Announcing The Hunger!

Vampires awake from their torpor as the eternal roses are blooming. You have until sunrise to run to the Labyrinth and pick the most beautiful bloom, hunting for Humans on your way, seducing Familiars to help you, and increasing your Powers to become the most notorious Vampire. The Hunger is a race where each player will have to optimize their card deck, hunt Humans to gain Victory Points, fulfill secret Missions, and eventually acquire a Rose and return to the Castle before sunrise. The more you hunt, the slower both you and your deck become, which will make it harder and harder to get back before daybreak. Can you become the most notorious Vampire without burning to ashes at Sunrise?
