You're in New York City, 2016, and the time is now... the opportunity to seize the city is within your sights. All you need to do is take charge, pounce upon your enemies, negotiate with your "allies," and take hold of your ambitions. Become a character in the immortal universe of Vampire: The Masquerade, as a vampire or a human. Work with your fellow faction members to succeed at your goals before daybreak. A city of schemes, death, blood, and conflict lies before you. Only one faction will come out on top in this Blood Feud.
It's up to you - and your faction - to come out on top. Who will you crush beneath your heel to get there? Who will you employ as your ally to help reach your goals? Who will stand in your way and challenge your ascension? And who must you kill to get there?
Vampire: The Masquerade- Blood Feud is a game of schemes and strategy. Teams take on the roles of vampire and human factions fighting for control of New York City over the course of a long and bloody night.
The overall goal of the game is to earn your team the most Victory Points by scoring Ambition cards.
Blood Feud is played with 4-8 teams of 1-4 players each, as well as a Storyteller to run the game. This is an active game, and players can expect to be frequently moving and interacting. Over the course of the game teams will deploy and command fighting units, make alliances, buy and trade resources, upgrade their characters, and vote on events. Team communication and effectively using each of the game's 4 stations is key.
Blood Feud is dubbed a "Mega Board Game" because unlike a traditional board game, it isn't played at a single table. Blood Feud requires a large room or two separate rooms with 2-4 tables. One game table features the Cityscape and Orders, the map where players move their forces around the city and order them to fight and take control of important territories. The other game table features the Council and Market, where players use their best diplomatic and resource management skills to make sly trades, buy upgrades and player level-ups, and make large political decisions that will shape the destinies of teams to determine whether they win or lose! In order to win the game, teams earn victory points through the completion of legacies, which are secret objectives that can consist of all sorts of tasks and achievements earned through gameplay.
