This will be a quick review for this. I originally got into this card game long after it was originally released. I really fell in love with the Planescape setting with the superb video game, which resulted in me tracking down everything Planescape related! When I got a stack of the cards on Ebay, they came with this manual because there weren't any of the starter set instructions. Later on I managed to pick up some starter sets with the regular manual and I must say this adds onto to that greatly. It gives you more in depth rules and answers some situational questions that could come up to players. It also had a section on new ways to play the Bloodwars card game! The other part I found to be useful was the card list at the end where it shows you every card that was printed for the Bloodwars series so you can see which ones your missing and what they do. Overall a decent product if you're a die-hard Planescape fan. Unfortunately this card game wasn't very popular and it wasn't overly well designed. It's a pretty complex game, but if you and your friends switch the rules around a little it could be a lot more fun. Personally, I wanted to use the cards in a Planescape campaign for the PC's to hold onto and so on.
