Dracula 1897 is a game for 2 to 7 players.  It is nominally a cooperative game in which players  must work together to find the location of Dracula's secret crypt and destroy the contents therein.  However, Dracula's influence is powerful and can reach even into the inner circle of our group of heroes. One player may be completely under his spell while another wavers on the edge, both trying to subtly inhibit those who would stop their Master.

Visit Renfield in the asylum or take the Orient Express to Transylvania to discover clues to the location of the secret crypt.  Build up the courage to enter Dracula's various lairs from Hillingham to Whitechapel while being careful to avoid the monster himself.  You must work together as a team, and yet how do you really know who you can trust?

Dracula has come to London with bad intentions.

His tendrils already penetrate the city. Resistance is but a token effort for all but a small band of heroes with names like Van Helsing and Harker. The creature replenishes his strength from crates full of befouled earth excavated from his Transylvanian homeland. To defeat him, the heroes will have to face him when he is at his weakest, and to do that, they must first find every single crate before catching up to and facing Dracula.
