Geekach Games Game of Thrones. Second Edition

настольная игра престолов The most successful tabletop adaptation of George Martin's iconic saga about the struggle of the Great Houses for the Iron Throne. The "A Game of Thrones: The Board Game" was developed in 2011. It was created by Christian Petersen (founder of Fantasy Flight Games, creator of games such as "Twilight Imperium", "StarCraft: The Board Game" and "World of Warcraft: The Board Game") and Kevin Wilson ("Wrath of Dracula", "Descent. Journeys in the Dark", "Arkham Horror", "The Sign of the Elder Gods" and "Sid Meier's Civilization"). In 2013, the "Game of Thrones" board game won the "Ludoteca Ideale" competition. SINGING THE MAIN SONG Players are invited to sing the "Song of Ice and Fire" again. All the main characters are still alive, vigorous and full of strength. King Robert Baratheon is dead, long live the new king! Who will he be? Who will rule the Seven Kingdoms? The noble Starks, the cunning Lannisters, the slippery Greyjoys, the ambitious Tyrells, the ruthless Martells or the powerful Baratheons? By leading these Great Houses, players will try to seize as much land as possible with castles and fortresses in ten rounds. The winner will take his rightful place on the Iron Throne. GAMEPLAY The "Game of Thrones" board game is a large-scale strategy with diplomacy and territory control mechanics. Each game round consists of three phases. In the Westeros phase, the top cards from the three Westeros decks are revealed and their effects are activated. In this phase, the round marker and the threat marker are also moved. The attack of the wildlings occurs when the marker reaches a value of 12. Players must jointly defend against the attack, otherwise they will face unpleasant consequences. In the planning phase, players place orders on the board, and in the action phase they execute these orders. As Geekach has already noted above, the game ends after the tenth round. Or earlier, if one of the Houses controls seven lands with castles and fortresses - that player wins immediately.
