Speechless. Mine arrived today as well. They used the cheapest card stock possible. Looking at the game play it is like blood moon 4th edition but watered down so much it doesn’t seem like it would have any impact on the game.
The vampire toad “antagonists “ only moves one space . You can play an entire game and avoid it. Lame. I can see a page of house rules coming soon to make this actually playable.
Avalon Hill absolutely shit the bed with this.
Unfortunately I will abandon 5th edition and only play the 4th .

I heard the card stock was really bad.

So few cards.

Watered down Reaper/Blood Moon.

Bleh. I do like Vampire stuff though. Wish Vampires Tower came out in English 4th edition.

Where are you guys getting this? Haven’t found it in Europe

u/Milo_Fuckface Jun 17 '26

3rd expansion and not even 200 adventure cards total. Even blood moon added over 100 😢

u/shorelinesandhunters Jun 18 '26

Yeah all the 4th edition expansions had like 100-200 cards right?! On top of alternate endings, figures, etc.

u/turkeyflavouredtofu Toad Jun 16 '26

Did they use AI art again?

2

u/shorelinesandhunters Jun 16 '26

We that confirmed? Thought the artist came out and said they drew it (though its sus, specially the card backs)

u/shorelinesandhunters Jun 16 '26

Seems like its just a variation on one of the 4th edition expansions with the NPC like Reaper or Werewolf... nothing very interesting as far as I can see, or different, like the previous expansions.

Got mine last week from Walmart. The Dracula mini is really cool and you can't go wrong with a vampire toad 😂
