The shadows are spreading across the British Isles.

Count Dracula moves unseen through fog-shrouded cities, remote villages, and rugged coastlines, leaving behind only fear, disappearances, and whispered rumors.

Only a handful of people know the truth.

Led by Professor Van Helsing, the Hunters begin a desperate race to uncover Dracula's trail before darkness engulfs the British Isles. But the Count is never alone. His loyal Disciple, Renfield, serves his every command, while Lucy Westenra, transformed into a powerful vampire, fights at his side.

Darkness of Dracula is a gothic horror hidden movement board game for 2 to 6 players, where both factions can be played in teams, creating a whole new way to experience the hunt.

Inspired by Bram Stoker's immortal novel, it combines deduction, asymmetric gameplay, iconic characters, and cooperative strategy into an unforgettable hunt.

Will you embrace the darkness as Dracula and his followers, or join the Hunters in the race to stop them before it's too late?

A team-based gothic horror hidden movement game for 2–6 players featuring DEDUCTION, TEAMWORK and SURVIVAL across the British Isles.

Luca Maragno, game designer

I'm a nerd who worked as a journalist for several years, writing about cinema, video games and technology. I've been inventing board games since elementary school and I've been working on them professionally for a while now. I'm an excellent detective and I give criminals no respite. Especially Mathias.

Mathias Mazzetti, art director

I'm a designer who works not only in the world of board games, but also for cinema, creating posters and home video editions for collectors. I love board games, I started building them when I was a child and I've never stopped! I like to create well-hidden robberies in the shadows, even the best detectives like Luca have trouble following my traces.

Luca Canichella, product manager

Yes, another Luca. Italian parents were probably in lack of creativity back in the 80s. Serial traveller, movie enthusiast, I play always the outsider role, that one saying the wrong thing in the wrong moment. My cent in the boardgaming business? Getting it right! But, in the best possible quality, and knocking at your door way before you can expect.
