Madison VTES is hosting a New Year’s Day recruiting event for Vampire the Eternal Struggle CCG.

There will be demos & casual games, focused on growing our community. Intro games take about 30 minutes & we’ll have everything you need to play. We’ll also have prizes, giveaways & decks for sale to get you started.

We’ll provide food & beverages, but feel free to bring something to share. Donations are appreciated, but not required.

Please RSVP ASAP OMG WTF BBQ!
(This probably goes without saying, but if you're not feeling well, please stay home.)

Vampire: the Eternal Struggle (VTES for short) is a multi-player collectable card game, based on the award-winning Vampire: the Masquerade / World of Darkness role playing universe, in which players take on the role of ancient vampires known as a Methuselahs.

Considered mere legend by many, Methuselahs rule everything from the shadows, engaging in an eons-long Machiavellian conflict that encompasses political, social, and even physical warfare. The struggle is won or lost based on the actions taken by your minions – younger vampires who unknowingly do your bidding. In this way, the game can allow for deep and immersive storytelling as your minions purchase equipment, hire retainers, even suggest legislative changes to vampiric society, all in the service of your dark plots.

VTES is the second card game designed by Richard Garfield (designer of Magic the Gathering, Netrunner, and others). It was created in 1994 to avoid some of the flaws that Garfield found in Magic. It also has a multiplayer gameplay experience more in keeping with a boardgame than a traditional card game – VTES is a circular elimination-style game played by 2-5 Methuselahs and games can last up to 2 hours.

If you’ve demoed with us before, haven’t played in ages, love the gothic / punk themes of the 90s or are just looking for something new - we’d love to meet you.

There are some adult themes, so please leave the munchkins at home. We do have a few younger players, so anybody over 15 is welcome.
