Vampire

A game for fairly large groups of people, fun to do in city centers! A vampire stalks the population, and can turn unsuspecting citizens into its ilk.

Rules

• People can only stay within a selected area (shown below is an example in L’Aquila)
• Vampires may infect players by touching them
  • optionally, it can be nice for every player to be carrying a marker pen, and for the vampire to mark its victim with two dots on the neck
• The vampire’s aim is to capture as many people as possible, the other players’ aim is to not be caught for the duration
• If a player is caught, they become allies of the vampire and can begin to hunt other humans themselves

For each round

• A vampire is chosen randomly amongst the participants
• A start time, grace period and end time are determined
  • the grace period should only be of two-three minutes to allow people to spread out
  • the end time should be set so that the full round lasts around half an hour
• As the “whistle is blown”, the hunt is on!

Points

• Each human surviving to the end of the round gets 5 points
• The original vampire gets 2 points for each human they (directly) capture
• Second generation vampires get 1 point for each human they capture
