Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Majority — Scoring involves comparing symbols across cards to determine who has the most, earning victory points and sacrifices.
- Drafting — The game is compared to Sushi Go! and involves drafting cards.
- End game scoring — Victory points are awarded at the end of the game based on collected sets, curio cards, and specific scoring opportunities.
- sacrifice — Players can choose to sacrifice a card for favor scoring or to get rid of negative points, which triggers certain card effects like blood vials.
- Set Collection — Players try to collect sets of cards to gain victory points.
- split you choose — A core mechanism where players split cards into offers, and others choose from them, with unchosen cards returning. It involves splitting and choosing phases.

Quotes (from this video)
- It fits their other games in this box and no one else's games, which isn't great.
- This is a game about Dracula and he's dead. He did not leave a will, so you're splitting his stuff. Right.
- Thematically, this is a sillier take of sorts on Dracula. Not super silly, but like he has vials of health things blood. He has vials of blood from famous characters. And authors. And authors, and like just sort of historical figures, which is funny. The whole thing is very light uh in in it's tongue-in-cheek, which is good, because it could be dark, but I like that the the the way they're going here is that it's silly.
- It does demand a lot of table space.
- It really is a game that's pretty simple, but the I split you choose is simplest part of it.
- It's a slight step up from that. And part of the reason I say that is because it's a hard time keeping track of all the different things going on.
- I think the tongue-in-cheek theme is going to help you get this game back to the table.
- There might be just a little too much. There might be too many special abilities. Those could have been dialed back a little.
- It's going to be tough to get this one to stand out in the crowd to per se.
- It's not like a strong seven, but it is there.
- But it is a solid game that uses that I split you choose mechanism, which frankly isn't used in nothing games. And so, I enjoy this one. It's a nice novelty.
