“New Blood” Beginner Decks Released

Posted by extrala on April 18, 2022
Posted in: Expansions, New Blood, VTES. Tagged: Expansions, Games, New Blood, VTES. Leave a comment

Black Chantry (as current publisher of VTES) has announced that the official release date for the upcoming new beginners/demo decks is April 17th, 2022. The set named is New Blood, and consists of 5 different “half” decks with 55 cards (6 crypt and 49 library cards each).  As with First Blood in 2019, the 5 different decks are based on the following 5 Camarilla clans:

  • Malkavian — Stealth Vote
  • Nosferatu — Combat Wall
  • Toreador — Vote
  • Tremere — Toolbox
  • Ventrue — Tap & Bleed

The decks contain each two new crypt cards and some also contain up to 4 cards with new art work. Even though the clans are the same as with First Blood decks, I appreciate the fact that the decks strategies are somewhat different from the ones in First Blood.

More information can also be found on Black Chantry’s product page of New Blood. One of the online stores where the New Blood decks are already available is VTES Store.
