About the game
Sabbat War was the first expansion set for the Vampire: The Eternal Struggle trading card game to be released by White Wolf after the game was initially discontinued by Wizards of the Coast. Most of the cards in the set are reprinted, mainly from the previous expansion set, Sabbat. The cards in this set, like those in the one before it, naturally focus on the vampires of the Sabbat. Many of the new cards introduced here draw inspiration from the Clan Novel Saga and other Revised-era Vampire: The Masquerade sources. In addition to the standard booster packs, Sabbat War was the first VTES set to feature preconstructed starter decks. The four prebuilt Lasombra, Tzimisce, and Ventrue antitribu, respectively.
