For today's countdown to Halloween post, I decided to blog again about my favourite horror icon and one of my biggest obsessions: Dracula. I first read it back in 1990, please read my post from 2018 for more details. It was a revelation to me and since then I looked for every piece of literature or derivative products about the character I could find. So one day, I discovered, in one of the role-playing shops I used to go to, a board game based on Dracula, called... The Fury of Dracula. The box was already open, I don't remember its price, but maybe because I suspected it did not have the full content, I did not buy it. I did, however, read the rules quickly and had a look at the boardand pieces. I got very impressed with the gameplay. It was a sort of sequel to the novel and you could play Dr. John Seward, Arthur Holmwood (Lord Godalming) or Pr. Abraham Van Helsing. The setting was Europe and there were different ways, you could use various weaponsseen in the novel and everything looked nice and it seemed to be quite an atmospheric game. But I did not buy it and to this day I regret not finding another board game. I know there has been other editions of the game. I hope to get my hands on one of it.

ReplyDeleteI hate when I do that - pass up a one of a kind. But I have hopes you'll see it again and perhaps Wolfie will be old enough to play it with you.
