Two two players team: Team A consist of player A1 and A2 Team B consist of player B1 and B2 Each team use shared pool of 60. Seating is A1 -> B1 -> A2 -> B2 Starting transfers as usual.
Special rules: If a player succesfully bleeds opposing team and the other member of the team controls the edge, he may choose to not gain the edge.*
A team can choose to bleed any player of the opposite team. A team member can choose to block a (D) action targeting that player's team member after his/her team member has declined to block. A team member may rescue your team member's vampire from torpor as a +1 stealth action. This action is considered an undirect action.
Banned cards: - Standard Constructed banned list - Any card that redirects bleed (i.e deflection, redirection, telepathic misdirection, etc...)
*Example: A1 bleeds succesfully B2, and wins the edge. B1 fails to bleed succesfully. A2 bleed succesfully but declines to gain edge. B2 fails to bleed succesfully. A1 (hence Team A) gain pool at the start of A1's turn, as usual.
If A2 controlled, say Nkule Galadima, it might have been beneficial for him to take a edge in scenario above, if he were to call referendum with him on his turn.
