2 player variant.

Hi
It's been awhile since I've been to this website. And, unfortunately, I hardly play vtes anymore. I've moved away to a place without any vtes players (a hell like place). But the people I play a-card-game-that-shall-not-be-named have been a little interested in VTES. I always talk down on Mr. Garfields first CCG and up on Vtes. But it's not easy to get players to start to play a dead game. BUT I've got one player a little interested in trying. But then again is i 4 to 5 player game. Do anybody have some 2 player rules that still invokes the feeling of vtes. The main thing I thinking about are these points.
*Influence ruls. Should you start with 2 transfers and than 4?
*Voting. Maybe all vampires should have 1 vote and titled vampires gets +votes. (Primogen 2 votes, Prince 3 etc.) This way vote-lock is harder to achive. Then maybe some votecards has to be changed (or banned)
*Deck building. Might it be better with 60 cards and 4 card limit (This makes mtg players feel more at home...)
*Starting Pool. Should this be changed? Less?

Any thing else?
I would realy like to play more vtes!!!!!

Interesting. Some of the variants changes the game to much I think. But there are good idéas here.

I am now thinking:
*45 min time limit
*60 card limit/4 copies limit
*Vampires have 1 vote
*You loose the edge when you gain 1 life.
*Transfer start at 2pool.

Uncertain:
*Burn edge to make a referendum fail (or an action).

Don't go there.

I know your potential player base is used to that deck-building strategy, but if you start them off on this path, you may never have a chance to integrate them into the wider V:TES world.

have you considered using sleeves and printing proxy cards?

There was some discussion of 2 player variants here:
