From BoardGameGeek

15th-century Romania, a land ravaged by war, threatened by Ottoman invasion, and torn apart by the feuds of noble bloodlines. As the fires of war burn across Romania, the vampires emerge from the shadows, ready to claim dominion over the realm of mortals. Will you rise to rival the legend of Vlad Dracula? In Vampire Lords, players take on the roles of powerful vampires vying for dominance over 15th-century Romania. To achieve victory, a player must gain and maintain control of 5 towns or 8 towns if working in alliance with another lord. The game combines deck-building and area control mechanics with asymmetric vampire factions. Will you lead the game as the cunning Dracula, the charismatic Radu, or perhaps as a fearsome necromancer Erzsébet Báthory? Players compete over the course of 4 rounds, each consisting of distinct phases: diplomacy, harvest, action, market, and status. The heart of the game lies in the action phase, where players alternate turns playing cards to command armies and vampire agents. Cards allow players to hunt mortals, raise the undead, and wield dark blood magic - all in the pursuit of becoming the most feared and dominant vampire lord. Will you rule the night… or be consumed by it? -description from the designer
