Also known as "Vampire: The Eternal Struggle", the game was published as "Jyhad" in the first or "Limited" edition only. The game was designed in 1994 by Richard Garfield & initially published by Wizards of the Coast. In 1995 the game was renamed from Jyhad to Vampire: The Eternal Struggle to increase its appeal and distance itself from the Islamic term jihad. After the 1996 Sabbat expansion, Wizards of the Coast abandoned the game, and in 2000 White Wolf Studio took over development. The game is set in the World of Darkness, drawing mainly from the Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game.
