In A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, the warring factions of Westeros
await your command, inviting you to engage in a life-or-death struggle.
In every game, you select devious plots and challenge your opponents on
the field of battle, through back alley intrigue, and in the political
arena. Whether you play a against a single opponent, in a game known as
a joust, or engage in a battle of three or more players, called a
melee, winning challenges against your opponents is the way to victory.
Your ultimate goal in A Game of Thrones: The Card Game is to gain
influence over the greatest seat of power in Westeros: the Iron Throne!
To achieve this goal, you must call upon iconic characters, such as
Tywin Lannister, Robb Stark, Stannis Baratheon, Daenerys Targaryen,
Euron Crow's Eye, The Red Viper, and dozens of others. You must
maneuver the members of your House and your allies in a constant battle
to gain power. The first player to claim fifteen power wins!
In the game, each player has two decks: a draw deck and a plot deck.
Your draw deck contains the tactical elements of your struggle,
including the characters, locations, attachments, and events that you
call upon in your struggle to claim the Iron Throne. You can command
characters from throughout A Song of Ice and Fire, and you can march
forth from the icy walls of Winterfell or muster your armies around
Casterly Rock. You may even equip your characters with storied weapons,
such as the Valyrian steel blades Ice or Widow's Wail. The draw deck
holds these powerful characters, locations, attachments, and events.
This deck is randomly shuffled and players draw their hands from this
deck.
At the start of each round, each player simultaneously chooses and
reveals one of the plot cards from their individual seven-card plot
decks. Your plot for a round determines how much gold you can spend on
cards, which player starts with initiative, and how powerful your
challenges are. Your plot also bears a reserve value, which determines
how many cards you can keep in your hand past the end of the round.
Plots may also offer powerful effects that can trigger when the plots
are revealed or persist to shape the entire game round. You may scorch
the earth with a deadly wildfire assault, or call upon all players to
support the faith of the Seven.
A Game of Thrones: The Card Game (Second Edition) differs from the
first edition of the game due to elements being cut, elements being
revised or updated, and elements being added. Influence was a holdover
from the game's origin as a CCG and is now unnecessary, while crests
offered nothing to distinguish them from traits and made the game more
difficult for new players to learn. Existing keywords have been pruned,
and some new keywords have been added to showcase the most interesting
and essential interactions.
The timing rules — such as the details of moribund, passive effects
with triggers, and save/cancel responses — will be replaced with a more
straightforward timing system that takes advantage of the Interrupt,
Reaction, and Forced triggers that have been successfully employed in
some of FFG's newer LCGs.
The second edition also includes two new factions beyond the six Houses
in the first edition. New deck-building rules empower players with more
options in combining factions, alongside a means of building more
focused and specialized plot decks.
