In ancient times, immortal vampires played games with people's lives and with real blood stakes. Now in card game form, no real blood will be spilled, but the strategy, tactics, and power-plays still abound. Based upon a game that exists in HBO's True Blood universe, Night Eternal is a competitive card game of intrigue, power-plays, and betrayal where vampires jockey for power, position, and ultimate control of the rival factions: The Authority and The Monarchy. This game combines antes, bluffs, and strategic applications of power to create an engrossing experience for 3-5 players.
