LSJ: Villein

In order to play the card, the target vampire *must* have at least two blood to be taken off, or Villein can also be played on a vampire with one or zero blood ? thanks in advance Emiliano

See also Drain Essence. I'm not sure I understand. The Drain Essence analogy is not explicit enough for me (i.e. DE and Villein have rather different card text). What happens if I put Villein on a vampire with 1 blood? (A) I put the card on the vampire but the move blood part fizzles. (B) I put the card on the vampire and move the one blood to my pool. If (A) the Drain Essence analogy does not hold at all, so I assume it's (B). Please confirm (or deny).

Since the amount of blood available is less than the amount that is specified by the effect, you move all that you can. It's the same way that Theft of Vitae or Drain Essence work in combat when the opposing vampire has less blood than the strike steals. You are not prohibited from playing the strike, you simply move the amount of blood that is available.
