A gothic horror battle royale in Dracula’s Castle for 2 - 8 players

Take on the role of iconic Victorian era villains as you explore a cursed castle, seeking deadly weapons and forbidden powers with which to slay your opponents and claim victory by becoming the final survivor.

Ransack rooms to draw cards that along with your Villain’s unique Talents allow you to avoid misfortune and punish those who would stand against you.

Position yourself next to an opponent to claim the dreaded ‘Power of Adjacency,’ then laugh as you steer them into the castle’s many fiendish traps and hazards.

Slay other Villains to claim their souls, spent at The Dark Tower for monstrously powerful rewards.

In death become a ghost, gambling on the fate of the castle and its occupants for a chance to return to life and claim revenge! Or adopt a very different form as your visit The Vault to become The Vampire, an agile and deadly creature with only a few weaknesses hidden within the castle.

The Story

Damnation: The Gothic Game

Damnation: The Gothic Game takes place on a plane in hell where Count Dracula holds dominion. Here, a cast of villains from the Victorian era find themselves damned for all eternity.

Each day, the damned are resurrected with no memory of where they are or how they arrived, finding themseves cursed to hunt and be hunted by one another for all eternity as punishment for the pain and suffering they inflicted in life.
