Social Deduction Vampire Game ‘Blood Bound’ Now on Sale

Jan 5, 2018

Fantasy Flight Games has released a new edition of Blood Bound, a social deduction game of warring vampire clans. Two teams each aim to reveal the opposing clan’s leader while protecting the identity of their own. The game is for six to twelve players, ages 14+, plays in around thirty minutes and carries an MSRP of $19.99.

From FFG:

Two vampire clans coexisted for centuries, ruling the night with a tenuous but lasting peace. But when the Gargoyle clan began adding to their ranks more heavily, the Phoenix were forced to keep pace or perish. From there, the conflict that consumed the clans was inevitable, bringing both clans to the brink of extinction. Now, only the remnants of each once-proud group remain as both sides seek to discover their allies and capture the leader of the rival clan to finally end this conflict.

In this social game of intrigue and deduction, six to twelve players embody the dwindling survivors of two rival vampire clans, Gargoyle and Phoenix, pushed to the edge of extinction by war and treachery. You must unite with your allies and destroy the enemy clan—but who is a friend, and who a foe?

Treachery and betrayal abound as you seek to identify the leader of the rival clan and capture them before they can discover your own leader. While every player’s clan loyalty and rank within the clan is secret, all communication must be done openly. Still, openly does not mean honestly. In Blood Bound, you may tell the truth as you deem fit, but you are free to lie through your fangs if it will protect your allies or throw suspicion on your enemies.
