The Sabbat Return to Wreak Havoc in Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Third Edition
Vampires are far superior to mere mortals. So why hide within mortal society when all a mortal's worth is as food? Vampires of the Sabbat refuse to lurk only in the shadows, and in doing so they stand against the Camarilla, so-called civilized vampires, who play games fit only for mortals. The Sabbat do not play games. Instead, they engage in an eternal struggle for their own freedom, even from one another.
Revel in Immortality
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.
Vampire: The Eternal Struggle celebrates its twelfth anniversary this year. Designed by Richard Garfield, designer of Magic: The Gathering®, VTES allows players to pit clans of vampires against one another in a mix of intrigue and action. The launch of this third edition set, a stand-alone base set, is a great starting point for new players. If you have never experienced the fun and excitement of strategic collectible card games, now is the time to jump in. It is called Third Edition after the Camarilla Edition, which is reckoned as the second edition. The set features 4 non-random preconstructed decks which are designed to get beginning players started right away.
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.
- Reprints of necessary cards with new art! - Added draft functionality on many of the cards.

New Rules 5
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.
Cards updated:
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.
* Remember that updated rules don't go into effect until the set is legal for play.
Errata 5
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 Error 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. The correct card order will also be online soon, to make it possible to repeat the scripted session. We apologize for not catching the error earlier. This error will be corrected in any subsequent print runs of the Third Edition.
