Thirst

2024·Tim Broadwater

2 - 4 players
30 - 60 min

From BoardGameGeek

Thirst is a bloodthirsty 2-4 player, competitive vampire-vs-vampire, city dominion game for ages 8+ and can be played in 30-60 minutes. Thirst is ultimately a game of dominion in which players become powerful monstrous and bloodthirsty vampires. Players rise from the graveyard hungry to find that they are not the only creature of darkness in town. Players fight other vampire players for dominion over people and neighborhoods, vying for influence. Players must hunt wisely, as the first vampire to accrue an influence score of 10 wins, and can finally slake their Thirst! -description from the publisher
