Read the full game description
Nosferatu is a brisk hidden-role card game in which one player, Renfield, knows who Dracula is and conducts the investigation. Each night the group secretly contributes cards; holy water helps the hunters, while bites and darkness advance Dracula’s plan. Renfield shuffles the contributions before revealing them, preserving uncertainty even when the vampire acts. Discussion, accusation, and carefully timed bluffs drive the daylight phase, and the hunters get only one decisive stake—choose poorly and Dracula wins immediately.
