Countess Bathory's Beasts

A Darkly Beautiful Trick-Taking Puzzle for Two

Countess Báthory's Beasts is a darkly elegant duel for two, where you compete as Master Heralds to build a macabre menagerie for the infamous Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Using a unique twist on trick-taking, you win majestic beasts from a deck of authentically restored antique heraldic art and must carefully place them in your personal gallery. Each round, a fickle Royal Crest changes which creature reigns supreme, while secret decrees and cursed shapeshifter cards weave a layer of gothic intrigue. It’s a tactical battle of wits, set collection, and spatial puzzle-solving, wrapped in a breathtaking artifact of hand-crafted history.

Player Count: 2-4 | Playtime: 30-45 min | Ages 12+
