The Hunger

The Hunger is a race in which each vampiric player must 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?

What is The Hunger

The Hunger is a race in which each vampiric player must 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?

During the game, players spend "speed" to move their vampires around the map, hunt humans worth victory points, and add new cards to their deck.

The game ends at dawn, after which the surviving player with the most victory points on their cards wins!

I've enjoyed it more than clank. I like the "reverse" deckbuilding idea and the variety of cards. My only con is that the movement through the board feels quite linear, but it also makes sense. I feel like some people penalize it from a first play due to not understanding the risk of elimination (the roses are lure). Great goofy art.

like it but lacks real motivation to move to the flower.

Evolución del CLANK! que mejora el juego con originales mecánicas (cuantos más puntos, más lento caminas y es mas posible que te pille el amanecer) y que funciona de maravilla aunque... si no te gusta el CLANK! este no te emocionará.

Pff, que buen deck building, ósea parece que el genero ya no tenia mucho mas que aportarte pero realmente este juego le da un par de giritos y lo hace muy interesante. Las partidas a parte son rápidas y el arte y diseño de produccion estan muy on point
