## Description
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Rivals, you take the helm of a vampire coterie battling for control over the city of San Francisco. The night is your ally as you manipulate mortals, leverage political influence, and engage in street clashes with rival clans to advance your dark agenda. Each player commands their own deck, representing a specific clan from Vampire: The Masquerade lore, and with every turn, new challenges and objectives emerge to shake things up. With only two actions per turn, you must play strategically: draw cards, play them, recruit new vampires to your cause, claim important titles, or directly attack opponents in their havens. The competition is fierce, whether on the streets or in the vampires' dark domains. The goal is clear: defeat your rivals or accumulate 13 Agenda Points to dominate the city and prove who rules the San Francisco night. This game requires a good command of English, as the need for card translation is considerable for a smooth playthrough.
