Eat the Reich is a tabletop role-playing game about heroic vampires sucking the blood of Nazis during World War II. It was designed by Grant Howitt. Players choose from a set of six predetermined characters.[1] Eat the Reich won three Gold ENNIE Awards in 2024.[2]
Themes
In an interview with Gizmodo, Howitt's partner Maz Hamilton explained the game's use of anti-fascist vampires:
"I think there are an absolute ton of people from marginalized groups for whom the idea of adopting, even embracing, a monstrous-ness and embracing a monstrous identity in order to violently commit direct antifascist action is an extremely relevant thing right now.”[3]
Reception
Eat the Reich won three Gold ENNIE Awards in 2024 including "Best Cover," "Best Art – Interior," and "Best Adventure – Short Form." It was also nominated for "Product of the Year."[4][2]
