SiliconVania is looking to take Transylvania into a new direction, hoping to showcase a ground-breaking tech-fuelled vision, savvy and ambitious City Planners will be competing for the overarching and established position, designated by the Vampire's Council. 2-6 players will be ready to showcase the diversity they have to offer, in the development of the up-and-coming SiliconVania.

Players will be designing and planning on their four-by-four city grids over the course of eight rounds. It is in the benefit for each player to ensure the advanced future of the City is flourishing, which means constructing buildings and bringing in Specialists for an impressive and improved cityscape. Bidding for buildings to add to their grid, that is sure to attract and appeal to residents; making sure that the wildlife are left undisturbed in the change and that there are blood banks for vampires to indulge in.
Once the grid has been completely filled per player - their prospect of the City is then full. Players will then add together their points per building, the specialists they have attracted and any bonuses they have achieved creating harmony across the City, and conforming to the wishes of residents. The winner with the most points will prove the best plan and can prepare for the future development of SiliconVania.

The game is set to be released next year, and will play over the course of 45-90 minutes - depending on how many ambitious vampires there are around the table. Although there is not much released from the publisher, you can already find the title up on pre-order across a multitude of online stores.
Do you think you'd be able to successfully revolutionize Transylvania? I wonder if Dr. Frankenstien's Monster knows about the development...

great artwork looks very Munster’s inspired.
A Silicon Valley inhabited by moody, pasty, blood-sucking creatures that won’t set foot outside in bright daylight? …Are we SURE this is purely fantasy?
“Inspired by real events…”
Don’t forget parasitical existence at the expense if others. Very on the nose.
LOL ? – You hit the nail on the head! The conspiracy is finally uncovered.
