Will Dracula Take Over Whitby?
The humans are having a Sausage Sizzle and it’s drawing a crowd of hungry Aussie critters! One by one, a Quokka, Crocodile, Platypus, Echidna, Snake, and Kangaroo will try to sneak food away from the barbie. Making off with any food is good, but those sausages sure look the tastiest! The game is played over six rounds, with players taking turns in clockwise order. On your turn, your goal is to roll and re-roll dice to get many of the same Critter together with high values on the Food dice. You can choose any Critter you wish for scoring but beware! You can only score one Critter each round, and each Critter can only be scored ONCE during the entire game. But what about the Sausages?!? Normally a Sausage on the Food dice counts as a 1, but if you manage to lock in all four of your Food dice showing Sausages, the value of a Sausage jumps up to 7 that round!
On your turn draw a card and either discard or swap with one of the cards on your rack triggering its abilities.
When the end of round is triggered, compare your card racks to see who has the higher value. If Dracula is higher he turns a villager but if Van Helsing is higher Dracula losese a health point.
If Van Helsing removes all of Dracula's health he wins but if Dracula turns all villagers in a district he wins ending the game.
