Game of Thrones Playing Cards

Product Information

Many Martell effects are themed around losing challenges, leading to such effects being referred to as "revenge" effects.

Generally, power tokens are earned by winning challenges against an opponent, but some cards allow a player to directly claim power for his House card or characters in other ways.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Another timing word that may precede a triggered effect is a bold Response, which indicates that the effect may only be used in response to another occurrence in the game. Stealth: When a player declares attackers in a challenge, for each of his attacking characters with the Stealth keyword he may choose one of his opponent’s characters without Stealth. Standing cards are upright, and are ready for use to pay for effects, or to initiate or defend challenges. Generally, whenever an effect targets a card to be killed or discarded, players are given a chance to Save the card from the effect, either by discarding a duplicate of the targeted card or by using another game effect.

When magic, swords and a dragonglass dagger won't do the trick, you can win at everything from Poker to Blackjack and Solitaire using this stylish deck of cards - plus a little luck and cunning, of course. In the game, players assume the leadership of one of the great houses of Westeros vying for control of King's Landing and the Iron Throne. Rounds are divided into 7 phases, with each phase allowing players to alternate actions that affect the game state in some way. The plot draft ensures that Game of Thrones remains a fresh and deeply strategic game long after players have familiarized themselves with the characters, locations, and events in each of the two decks. Each suit reflects a key house or faction, like the Lannisters, the Starks, and Daenerys's khalasar.Your plot also bears a reserve value, which determines how many cards you can keep in your hand past the end of the round. Many locations are used to supply additional income, influence, but a wide variety of effects are present. To accomplish this, players launch military attacks against their opponents, undermine their opponents’ plans with intrigues of their own, and make power plays to win the support of the realm. 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.
