Game of Thrones Playing Cards

Product Information

Within the textbox may be traits, keywords, but primarily will be one or more game effects, and flavour text from the novels. Each player participating in an A Game of Thrones game uses two decks: 1) a 7 card plot deck and 2) a 60+ (40+ for draft) card draw deck of characters, attachments, locations, and events. Not only does the plot draft allow players to craft their own strategies from the available schemes and intrigues, but it guarantees that no player can ever be certain of what plot his opponent may choose to reveal.

Event cards represent special actions or happenings from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels that can be used in the course of the game.

Its simplified, streamlined rules and fixed decks are meant to help players dive into new intrigues and battles as quickly as possible and make it an ideal, accessible game for fans of the HBO series. As betrayal, lust, intrigue, and supernatural forces shake the four corners of the Kingdoms, their bloody struggle for the Iron Throne will have unforeseen and far-reaching consequences. Players could also earn certificates of eighty, forty, and twenty gold dragons for placing first, second, or third (respectively) in a sanctioned tournament. Each House provides different strengths and weaknesses, allowing for various playstyles to interact within the same game.

Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent specific types of events such as Small Council. Penley, who first became a fan of the show and then read the books to keep feeding her obsession, spent a long time thinking about which house would represent each playing card. At the beginning of each player's turn in the Marshalling phase, the player counts all income from plot card and any other resources available. However, once players have learned how to anticipate their enemy’s movements, they may wish to draft plots from the remaining eighteen plot cards. Plots may also offer powerful effects that can trigger when the plots are revealed or persist to shape the entire game round.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.

If the effect is cancelled, all costs stay paid, use limitations remain, but the effects do not occur. Then, the player being attacked may kneel one or more characters to attempt to oppose the challenge.
