GoT: Der Eiserne Thron

Die Prinzen der Sonne

 

Discover George R.R. Martin‘s exciting universe where intrigues can be more deadly than swords or axes. „A Game of Thrones“ tells an epic story about a rough country with a dark legacy. You are the head of one of dominant noble houses in the Realms of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros: Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, Targaryen, Greyjoy or Martell. The Core Set of the game is a re-launch of the Collectible Card Game of the same name, you can play the Core Set alone or expand the game with Chapter Packs. Besides those Chapter Packs there are the so-called deluxe expansions; this one here focuses on the vindictive House Martell; if features 180 cards (60 different cards with three copies each), among them Prince Doran and Princess Arianne Martell, Areo Hotah, Ser Arys Oakheart and the deadly Red Viper himself. Then there are rules for a new game variant, „Civil War“, in which players rival for the limited resources of one joint deck. You can play this version either as a multiplayer Melee or as Joust head-to-head. This variant does NOT replace the rules for Melee or Joust from the Core Set. In Civil War players share one draw pile and the discard and dead pile, but bring their own plot deck to the game. The game mechanism “Shadow” can also be used for the Princes of the Sun expansion.

This expansion with House Martell at its center fits seamlessly into the tense, intensive and thrilling tale about series of events in Westeros, the Realm of the Seven Kingdoms and about the fight of the big houses for the Iron Throne, the Land of Ice and Fire whose song also fascinates when sung by a card game.
