Noble Blood is a game of vampire herd management and minion acquisition. Players take on the roles of vampire lords vying for control of their city. In order to win the game, players will compete to accrue the most bountiful herd of humans to feed on and create a team of vampire minions capable of earning you the power and influence you will need to come out on top.

Play centers around vampires taking turns drafting humans from a central 'City' area consisting of 6 or 8 cards. Once taken, humans become part of your herd and can be fed on (feeding on humans does not kill them) or turned into vampire minions(each card has a human side and a vampire side). Every action in the game requires the expenditure of blood, so it is important to have plenty of big humans to feed on. But it is also important to turn members of your herd into vampire minions that might have a good turn order, the right influence symbol, or a power that you need.

Each vampire gets its own turn and its own specific place in the turn order so every time a player makes a new vampire, he or she gets another turn every round. Each vampire is unique and most have some kind of special power that can be used to a players advantage.

At the end of the game players receive points for the number of vampires under their control, the amount of blood in their possession, and the amount of influence they have acquired.
