WizKids to Release New Edition of ‘Fury of Dracula’ This July

Apr 17, 2018

The highly anticipated fourth edition of Fury of Dracula will be arriving this July. WizKids is promising fully painted miniatures, standard sized game cards, and a revamped rulebook. Fury of Dracula takes place after the events of the famed Bram Stoker novel as one player takes on the role of the Count as the other players scour Europe trying to hunt him down. The game is for two to five players, ages 10+, plays in around two to three hours, and carry an MSRP of $59.99.

About the game:

In Fury of Dracula, a game of Gothic adventure, one player takes the role of Dracula while up to four others attempt to stop him by controlling Vampire hunters from the famous Bram Stoker novel.

Dracula has returned, and is determined to control all of Europe by creating an undead empire of Vampires. Dracula uses a deck of location cards to secretly travel through Europe, leaving a trail of encounters and events for the hunters that chase him.

Meanwhile, the hunters attempt to track and destroy Dracula using the limited information available to them – a task easier said than done when their prey has the power to change forms into a wolf or bat, and can even melt away into the mist when confronted.

To save Europe and rid the world of Dracula’s foul plague, the hunters must destroy Dracula before he earns enough victory points to win the game… will they have enough wit and bravery to defeat the dark count?

What do you think, will there be any difference in the rules comparing to the 3rd Edition?
I pretty much liked the rock-paper-scissor combat mechanics instead of the dice-based of the second edition.

  I’m taking a guess the game play will stay the same as the third edition. It appears WizKids is offering painted minis, larger poker-sized cards, and revamping the rule book. There hasn’t been any mention of changing mechanics though and, since WK is recycling the same art from the third edition, I think everything game-wise will stay the same.
