THE HUNT BEGINS!
In the depths of Victorian Europe, circa 1898, a chilling presence looms — vampires are on the prowl!
You and up to 9 friends play as members of a legendary vampire hunter's guild, forming the last line of defense against the encroaching undead menace. But as the night creeps on, can you determine which of your fellow guild members can be trusted, and which are actually vampires themselves?
Investigate and assassinate as you stake your way to the top in this fast-paced evening of betrayal and deception. Last team at the table wins!
STAKED!
AT A GLANCE
Staked! is a secret role board game for 6-10 players, set in dark Victorian Europe.
At the beginning of the game, each player is secretly assigned to either the 'good' team (Vampire Hunters) or 'bad' team (Vampires). The Hunters have superior numbers, but don't know which players are Vampires. The Vampires are fewer, but know each other, and can coordinate attacks.
Over the course of the game, players discuss strategies, make accusations, and vote to eliminate other players. When you manage to eliminate all players from the the opposing team, your team has won the game!
