The night belongs to no one.
A Vampire Board Game
Play as one of four ancient and immortal vampires that wakes up in a modern city of strange lights and sounds... thirsty!
Thirst is a darkly immersive, fast-paced 2–4 player competitive board game of gothic power struggles. Rise each night as a predatory vampire using blood, ichor, and influence to outmaneuver rivals, dominate the city's neighborhoods, and avoid spirited consequences — until one vampire claims ultimate dominion.
With a playtime of 30–60 minutes, Thirst blends thematic tension with strategic depth, perfect for both casual and hardcore board gamers.
Rise each night to prey on the living, terrorize neighborhoods, but return to your coffin to hide from the deadly daylight. Prey on humans, use Dark Powers, sire minions, and drive your opponents into a deadly frenzy.
Compete night and day against other vampires to gain Influence. As you claim parts of the city as your domain, enthralling people and dominating places, you win by being the first to accrue 10 Influence.
Players will receive a richly thematic and tactile experience, including darkly immersive gameplay, gothic art, and strategic depth that rewards cunning play.
Quick and engaging rounds that are 30-60 minute gameplay ideal for repeat players.
Spending Ichor to take powerful actions (hunt, use Dark Powers, sire minions, etc.).
Dynamic board with modualr neighborhood tiles make each game different.

Thirst is definitely one of the better board games I've played in a while. The gameplay is short, sweet, and simple to understand, while also providing a lot of fun actions and outcomes.
Wonderfully evocative mechanics to the setting, gameplay is familiar of other games in the genre but has its own identity. Fun for fans of immersive horror games!
The game was fun, and I really liked the cards and game pieces and design. This was a really great game!
Thirst is a very cool board game with a deep storytelling theme and intuitive options and choices. An excellent game for Halloween and hard core horror fans.
Thirst was brought to life by the blood of our Kickstarter backers. To every name below — thank you for believing in the night.
