Common Pool:  V:TES for Two Players
Version 0.3

Background (for those who've wandered in from Google looking for billiards)

We're talking about a different type of pool here.  This page describes a two- or three- player variant of the White Wolf's Vampire:The Eternal Struggle, a collectible card game of deckbuilding, resource management, strategy, and trickery, ideally suited for 4-5 players.  The object of the standard game is to remove other players from the game in a clockwise order, by helping them spend all their pool of influence (as tracked with counters).

If you've played this variant, please let me know.


The Concept

I wanted a two-player variant that, to varying extents:

In the regular three- to five- player game, I'm generally worried about multiple pools (my prey's, grand-prey's, predator's, and/or grand-predator's).  In a two-player game, I'm only worried about one--my prey's.  Since I'm only worried about one pool, there only really needs to be one pool in the game.  And on the flipside of the coin: If there's only one pool, it doesn't really matter how many players there are, as long as the pool is proportionately large. Hence, common pool.


Rules Changes (from standard game)
