Richard Garfield Announces New Deckbuildign Game THE HUNGER with Renegade Game Studios

Richard Garfield has a new game that was recently announced by Renegade Game Studios named The Hunger. In this game, you’ll play with up to 5 of your friends as vampires as you hunt humans to get victory points and fulfill missions before returning to your castle before the sun rises. The trick is that this is a deckbuilding game where you need to optimize your deck and as you hunt, you’ll slow your deck (and you) down making it harder to fulfill your goals. This game sounds like a lot of fun and I love the art.

Vampires awake from their torpor as the eternal roses are blooming. You have until sunrise to run to the labyrinth and pick the most beautiful bloom, hunting for humans on your way, tempting familiars into helping you, and increasing your powers to become the most notorious vampire.

The Hunger is a race where each player will have to optimize their card deck, hunt Humans to gain Victory Points, fulfill secret Missions, and eventually acquire a Roseand return to the Castle before sunrise. The more you hunt, the slower both you and your deck become, which will make it harder and harder to get back before daybreak. Can you become the most notorious Vampire without burning to ashes at Sunrise?

You can pre-order The Hunger from Renegade now for $50. Pre-orders are expected to release in September and each pre-order comes with 6 variant player promotional sheets that are gorgeous.
