Release Date: September 4, 2006

The bad boys of vampire society lead the rest in their nocturnal world, reveling in their immortality and superiority to the mortal herd. Backstabbing and treachery are expected at every turn, just to keep eternity from getting predictable. Let the games begin.

Third Edition

White Wolf's eleventh expansion for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle is a stand-alone base set. It is called Third Edition (after the Camarilla Edition, which is reckoned as the second edition).

Each booster pack contains 11 cards randomly selected from a set of 390 cards consisting of 90 rares, 100 vampires, 100 uncommons, and 100 commons, including 136 new cards (100 vampires and 36 library cards).

The set also features 4 non-random preconstructed decks, Brujah antitribu, Malkavian antitribu, Tremere antitribu, and Tzimisce, which contain even more cards and are designed to get beginning players started right away. Each preconstructed deck contains 6 new vampires that aren't found in the boosters, many of which are included twice in their respective starters.

In addition to the regular preconstructed decks above, this expansion also features a quick-start package called The Player's Kit. The kit is designed for four players who don't know the game to jump right in a learn the game by playing. It includes everything a group of four needs to play: four 50-card decks (for the same clans as the precons, enabling the players who discover the game to quickly expand their decks), blood counters, a full rulebook, and a scripted example of play to walk the players through the mechanics of the game using the four decks.

New Rules

Remember that updated rules don't go into effect until the set is legal for play.

• Trifles: This set updates the trifle rules both to remove the restriction against playing more than one trifle in each master phase (although only the first one grants an additional master phase action), and to handle out-of-turn trifles (which function just as you would expect).
• Draft effects: New to this set, some of the booster cards (reprints included) that require a Discipline or clan to use have additional texts on them which give them an alternate way of being used in draft and sealed tournaments. Sometimes this alternate use is the same effect as the normal usage, but with a different requirement. Other times, it is a different usage (and often both). The alternate uses are clearly labeled with "DRAFT:" text and set apart from the normal card text. The alternate effect is only usable in draft and sealed play. In standard constructed play, the draft text is ignored.

Updated Cards

• Abandoning the Flesh may be played by a vampire in torpor.
• Ventrue Investment is an investment.
• Visit from the Capuchin burns counters when cards would be replaced, rather than when they are played or discarded.

Erratum

The DRAFT effect of Claws of the Dead uses an Animalism icon when refering to the basic level effect of the card. It means the basic Protean effect, of course.

Printing Errors

Due to an error in printing, the Third Edition cards are all printed with the card backs "upside down" from all the other V:TES expansions.

Additionally, the quick-start decks' cards appear in the reverse order from the order used in the script. So, to use the script, first invert the both the library and the crypt (deal out the deck face down one card at a time to make a new deck) of each deck. To repeat the scripted session (or simply verify the order of your decks), check the Player's Kit Deck Listing.

We apologize for not catching the errors earlier. The errors will be corrected in any subsequent print runs of the Third Edition.
