This is because we noticed at the last moment that if the costs and such
were on the right side of the card, you couldn't see those if you fanned
your cards they way most people do. So we swapped them to the other side,
but this change didn't make it into the rulebook.

All vampires have the same commonality. As for having political cards on
the vampire sheet... note that there are 121 positions on each card sheet.
Right now there are 15 vampires in each clan and 6 Caitiff, for
7 * 15 + 6 = 111 vampires. Given that we want the same number of vampires
in each clan, having 121 vampires would have meant 8 vampires in each
clan and 1 Caitiff (which is not what we wanted), or 7 vampires in each clan
and 16 Caitiff, which would be pretty silly.

Jyhad was designed from the start to be multiplayer, though it can be
played with just 2 people (most games wind down to that mode anyway...)
While I'm sure team variants for Jyhad exist, none have been printed
in the Duelist or anything.
