Iron ThroneBased on the bestselling fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin (now
a hit HBO series), A Game of Thrones: The Board Game draws players into a war-
torn world of sun-scorched sands, lush forests, and chilling northlands. Each
player takes control of one of six Great Houses of Westeros, then sets out on
an epic campaign of combat and politics to secure total dominance. This board
game includes clear, detailed rules to guide you through setup and gameplay.
Play begins when each person receives an army of footmen, knights, siege
engines and ship units as well as a set of order tokens and other necessary
components. Each player also receives a deck of unique house cards, which
represent important characters from A Song of Ice and Fire and are used as
leaders in battles against rival houses. Vibrant Art and Intricate DetailingA
Game of Thrones: The Board Game captures the most memorable elements of George
R.R. Martin’s popular series. The detailed board represents an accurate map of
Westeros, and the tokens and cards convey many of its most significant
locations and characters. Attractive marbled plastic figures shaped as
footmen, knights, ships, and siege engines display your military might to the
realm while contributing to the game’s overall medieval aesthetic. Game board
is enhanced with figures, battle cards, tokens, and overlays. Raise Your House
to DominanceGame play proceeds over the course of ten rounds, after which the
player who has claimed the most areas containing castles or strongholds is
declared the winner. If at any time throughout the game a player controls
seven such areas, that player may immediately claim victory. Each round in the
game is made up of three phases: the Westeros Phase, the Planning Phase, and
the Action Phase. The Westeros Phase represents special events and the day-to-
day activities in Westeros. In the Planning Phase, players secretly assign
orders to all of their units. This portion of the game emphasizes diplomacy
and deduction. Can players trust their so-called allies, or is a timely
betrayal in the making? Finally, during the Action Phase, orders are revealed,
alliances crumble, and fierce battles decide the players’ fates. House cards
include characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. View larger. Detailed player
screens conceal your strategic planning. View larger. A World of Intrigue,
Diplomacy, and WarfareFragile alliances will form and break over the course of
each game, as players promise support to neighboring Houses only to betray
them for their own selfish ends. But beware; as the war unfolds, the barbaric
Wildings (which are controlled automatically by the game) work to amass their
forces in the far north. Players must occasionally set aside their differences
to face a common foe–or face the consequences together. A Game of Thrones:
The Board Game draws you into a vibrant gaming world, bringing your favorite
characters to life. The board resembles paint on distressed parchment for an
old-world look, while the token and card art exhibits intricate detailing fans
of the novels will recognize and enjoy.What’s in the BoxGame board, rule book,
