A Paid Advertisement.  White Wolf further expands its hit World of Darkness and Vampire: the Requiem brands with its very first board game, Vampire: Prince of the City.  A European-designed game for 3-5 players, Prince of the City puts players in charge of clans of vampires vying for supremacy in a contested city.  Only one vampire can become Prince, and players must use tactics and diplomacy to gain enough prestige to do so.

Vampire: Prince of the City (WW05212; ISBN 1-56504-274-3; $39.99) features attractive sculpted character miniatures as playing pieces, along with cards, counters and a high-quality playing board.  Gameplay combines classic resource-management and acquisition elements with unique twists reflecting the supernatural setting -- everything from ghoul servants to power eldritch Disciplines and the threat of succumbing to the Beast.
