I want to like this game a lot and after 4x reading the rules for the the second time (in german what i perfectly speak) i think its one of the most unnecessary complex games ever made with exceptions to exceptions don’t know if its to simulate or to patch up loose ends…but this is a pain in the ass

(1/3) Vampire Lords (gamefound.com/pl/projects/...) is an area control game. Each player controls a different Lord, distinguished by their abilities & action cards. Cards can be played as army/vampire movements or events. We can also "burn" cards to trigger one-time, powerful actions.
