Darkness Unveiled

Darkness Unveiled is the second player's strategy guide for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, the card game based on Vampire: The Masquerade. Unlike the other strategy guides for V:TES (or its earlier incarnation, Jyhad), Darkness Unveiled was designed and published by Wizards of the Coast in conjunction with White Wolf staffers. Darkness Unveiled is a hardcover book with cloth "bindings" holding the book closed; these "bindings" double as bookmarks once undone.

Background Information
A large portion of the content of this book was reused from The Eternal Struggle: A Players Guide to the Jyhad, the softcover strategy guide for the Jyhad edition of the game that was published the previous year by Wizards of the Coast. The format also inspired the Magic: The Gathering Pocket Players Guide, which was published by Wizards in 1996.
