Vampire: The Masquerade – Rivals Expandable Card Game

Players command rival vampire coteries competing for dominance over San Francisco. Each player uses a clan-themed deck to recruit vampires, play allies and equipment, and marshal influence across the city. A new street challenge appears each turn and players take two actions—draw or play cards, recruit characters, claim titles, or initiate attacks—while opponents contest control in the streets or within havens. Victory comes by defeating rivals in conflict or by accumulating 13 Agenda Points through political maneuvering and domination of mortal and vampire resources.

Balleflass7.0
It's fun. Really like the City deck that each player can interact with, but one flaw is that some abilities in each clan only works at 3+ (best at 4) like conspiracy and scheme. Also Brujah is a bit too OP at 2. I prefer VtES over this at 4 actually. I prefer Netrunner at 2. I'll rather play Pax Porfiriana at any player cout over this as well.

I think it's a very good successor to the original VTES game. Enough complex and tactic without the long time consuming and multiplayer political decks problem from the previous one.
