Vampyre is a board microgame published by TSR in 1981. It is a small-box game in which players take on the role of vampire hunters attempting to track down and destroy Dracula before he can claim his victims, placing it among the horror and fantasy-themed pocket games TSR issued in the early 1980s alongside its better-known Dungeons and Dragons line. Play centers on a hunt-and-evade structure in which the vampire hunter players must locate Dracula's hiding place and confront him under time pressure, giving the game a tense, scenario-driven shape typical of the compact microgame format popularized by publishers such as Metagaming and TSR during the period.
