Announcing ‘AnCon 2013’s Featured Indie Game’:

Transylvania the Card Game

Somewhere in the distance you hear the lone cry of a forlorn owl. As you approach the small town, your heart pounds with the rush of anticipation. You can feel the power ripple through your body as you flex for the final sprint. You can see the flickering lamplight casting shadows at odd angles against the cobblestone. The frigid night air whips by as you burst upon the sleeping village, but you take no heed. Your lust for violence blocks out any other thoughts. This is your domain, this is your night, you will not be denied, not at any cost. Transylvania will know you, your name will be passed on in hushed whispers, and your deeds will be told in lore for generations to come.

In Transylvania: The Card Game, you vie for rule of the land of folklore and legend. You may choose to play as a devout and righteous Priest with the aid of the Saints and the power of the Almighty. You may choose to play as a bloodthirsty and treacherous Vampire, bringing all to subjugation through your cunning and wit. Or you may choose to play as the savage and ruthless Werewolf, leaving a path of destruction and chaos in your wake. Each race has its own advantages and its own weaknesses. Discover for yourself which race you belong to.

Play is simple, be the first player to add territories to your domain to build an empire worth ten influence or more. Each turn, you will draw a card, play a card, and then perform conquest in hopes to add more territory to your domain. Turns are played in rounds, called ages, which provide each player with significant bonuses. Beware, however: once all five ages have been played, your reign is over and you are eliminated from the game. And to make things interesting, each player has access to devastating attacks available on the black market.

Transylvania is a game of timing, knowing when to attack and when to build your own domain. This can be harder than you think as the order of turns is constantly changing. You will soon find that even though the game is easy to learn, Transylvania offers a depth of play that provides a fulfilling gaming experience for both the casual player and the hardcore gamer.
