- Outside, there is many choices for restaurant (Pizza, Corean, Turkish, etc), one grocery, ...
- We'll see if we can prepare some sandwiches.

> BB Hotel 3* really close to EPITA too
> Ibis Budget porte d Italie Est 2* and a bit further : Ibis Budget porte d Italie Ouest 2*

# ACCOMODATION WITH A PLAYER :
- If you can accommodate one or more people, announce it here.
- If you are looking for homestay accommodation, do the same.
- Then talk about it among yourselves, please
# ADDRESS & TRANSPORT :
EPITA
14-16 rue Voltaire
94270 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre
(close to "Boulevard Périphérique", the highway that goes around Paris")
- Metro Line 7
"Porte d’Italie" (650m by walk) or "le Kremlin Bicètre" (750m by walk)
- From Gare de Lyon : (35-40 mins) Use Metro Line 1 or 14 to "Chatelet-Les-Halles", and Metro Line 7 as described above
- From Gare du Nord : (30-35 mins) Use RER Line B to "Cité Universitaire", then, Tram "T3A" to "Porte d'Italie" (then 650m by walk)
- By Car : Boulevard Péripique and exit "Porte d'Italie"
But it will be expensive to park your car.
Another option is to park your car at "TORCY RER STATION" for exemple.
It's 30km away from Paris, 1 hour away from EPITA by transport (RER "A" > Change at Chatelet-Les-Halles > Metro Line 7 [See above] ), but park at "TORCY RER STATION" is free (a good point when you live in the suburbs !)
If you have any questions, shoot!
On the day of the draft, if you have any issue, please contact me (06.62.55.90.86) or (berlintremere@gmail.com)

- The "draft box" contains 880 cards from a set of 382 different cards.
- Each box has a fixed content, just as current VTES bundles.
Cards in this box are a selection that we tried to balance as best as we can.
The rarity system is reintroduced to set quantities of card copies in this box.
(Rarity would be printed with a symbol gold / silver / bronze)
"Draft effects" are back ! (it's an alternate card text, only usable on draft events)
The goal of this box is to provide all necessary to prepare 80 "boosters" for draft.
You can divide those 80 boosters on different ways : 10 for 8 players, 8 for 10 players, 5 for 16 players, 4 for 20 players, ...
Simulating "boosters" can be made with whatever you want, papers for example.
For this event, i would use ziploc
Last clues about this "draft box" content that we will draft :
- It’s a V5 content including vampires from Banu Haqim, Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Ministry, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, Ventrue & their disciplines
- 120 different vampires
- 80 different rare
- 80 different uncommons
