White Wolf is happy to announce that a new Second Genesis league season will begin in February. Running through April 20, this short season is designed not only to kick off the year, but to lead directly into a new format in May.
After several months of development, the new card search feature is now live. Available under the Sortable Card List link on the left, this new system is an improvement, both functionally and visually, over the old one. It offers an expanded list of card elements, allowing users to refine their searches to a greater degree, and delivers it all via a fast, easy to read interface. Deck building becomes a streamlined process using this as a reference tool!
The latest round of errata and clarifications has been posted to the rules page. Nearly every change posted is in direct response to player discussions on the forums, and for that, the development team would like to extend its thanks. The community has been invaluable in helping us tighten up the game, both thematically and mechanically. Second Genesis would be nothing without the fans who love it enough to spend hours ripping it to pieces. Thank you.
We have just released details about a short league play initiative in the Events and Tournaments forum. Running from the start of November through the end of the year, this short season will allow us to gather player feedback and refine the support before the start of the new season next year. If you are interested in participating in a two-month league, and winning some great new prizes, please read the forum post for details on how to become involved.
Fanfest is just around the corner (November 1-3), and the celebration of everything EVE will play host to three days of Second Genesis demos and events celebrating the release of the game’s first expansion, The Exiled.
Demonstrations of the game will be run all day Thursday in the CCG room, and cards will be given away to any new players who stop by to learn the game. This is a great chance for EVE fans to learn the game and get a head start on their collection! The ...

Killboard tournament format is an offshoot format from EVE Online, the computer game. In EVE, players record and track their kills on a website out of game that is generally known as a ‘killboard’. Killboards serve as a way for players to see how good or bad they, their friends, and their enemies are doing in the game.
During the Fanfest 2007 weekend, I was teaching the CCG to some EVE players who had never played before. We had a discussion about how ...
I’d like to start this report by thanking everyone who came out to Iceland (frikkin’ Iceland!) to play some cards with me. I had a great time in our sauna of a room, and I hope everyone else did as well. I would especially like to thank David Schachtler, Stefan Schubert, Mike Nudd and Ian O’Brien. All four offered up their time to help teach the game to their fellow EVE fans. With all the other events ...
As a new player coming into EVE, my first impression of the game is that it is very unforgiving of mistakes. All it takes is one simple error and the entire game can be over in the blink of an eye. Time and again, I would send ships to the outer regions, confident that my starbase shields were sufficient, only to discover that I had overlooked some critical detail. Other times, I would attack my enemy’s starbase, but fail to notice one ...
The universe of EVE is big, really big. 401 different cards may sound like a walk to the chemist but that’s 80,200 two card combinations and over 10 million three card combinations. I would tell you how many different decks combinations exist but it’s too “vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big” for any of us to comprehend.
Hardcore gamers will tell you that this vastness is a good thing. When they sit down and build a new deck, they’re exploring the universe and ...
With the introduction of the new starbases in The Exiled, new strategies open themselves up to players. Old cards gain new prominence while new ones solidify and combine to give players a wider choice in deciding how to approach the game.
This set has given greater priority to the role of outer regions, and for me, the key region with the newest starbases is Stain. In the Core Set, this was a potent card in all aspects of ...
