About this game

Two fixed, fifty-card decks allow players to take control of either House Lannister or House Stark. Each deck includes the show's most recognizable characters and locations, including Eddard Stark, Cersei Lannister, Robert Baratheon, Littlefinger, and Jon Snow. Game of Thrones streamlines the rules of A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, the core set of the living card game series, to make it more accessible to a wider audience.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
