Frische Luft für die Gruft

 

His Excellency Count Rucola has learned of the nightly search for beds in the grave yard and pays a visit to the vampires. Each player receives 2 bats of his colour, the rules of the basic game apply, but each turned-up tomb cover stays open till the end of the move. Count Rucola goes to a player if the player lays 3 vampires to rest in fitting tombs or if his right-hand neighbour looses Rucola, because he placed him on an occupied tomb. Who receives Rucola places him on a supposedly empty tomb at the end of the normal turn. While Rucola sits on the tomb it cannot be opened. In the next move the player can open the tomb – if it is empty he places one of his vampires, if not, he looses Rucola immediately. A bat on a tomb can be used to ask players if they believe that the chosen tomb is empty, depending on the answers and the outcome different rules apply.
