In 1998 Rage underwent a major revision that cleaned up a lot of problems with the previous version by White Wolf Studios. Now instead of a free for all the game requires you to watch your resources. Although the backs of the cards have stayed the same the cards now have a lot more info on them and with new rules the original cards are totally incompatible. This is still a game of ferocious werewolf vs. werewolf combat but the game has been changed greatly. This version is commonly referred to as RALV, Snake Eyes, or Rage: Tribal War to distinguish it from the first version. If you have cards and are unsure which version they belong to, there's an easy way to tell. RALV character cards all have a paw print somewhere on the card frame (95% are on the bottom). Combat cards have a blood spot in the upper left corner with a number in them. Sept cards list the card type in the upper right corner.
