"A Game of Thrones" (or AGoT, for short) is a collectible card game (CCG) produced by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG), based on the A Song of Ice and Fire (ASoIaF) series of novels written by George R. R. Martin (GRRM). The first set, Westeros Edition, was released in 2002 and the game has since won two Origins Awards. The game's primary designer is Eric Lang and the lead developer is Nate French.

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. To achieve their goals, players launch military attacks against their opponents, undermine their opponents’ plans with intrigues of their own, and make brazen power plays to win the support of the realm. Players have at their disposal mighty armies, scheming courtiers, game-changing events, and many of the unique characters and locations that make up GRRM’s ASoIaF fantasy setting. Sudden reversals of fortune are as common in the game as they are in the series. As Cersei Lannister says in the first novel, "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."

Factions

Each house represents one of the main factions involved in the struggle for the Iron Throne emulated by the AGoT CCG. Each house provides different strengths and weaknesses, allowing for various play styles to interact within the same game. Certain cards are restricted to one or two houses, giving each house a unique flavor. Currently, there are six playable factions in the AGoT CCG. Each is identified by a shield bearing the arms of the house, located in the upper right corner of the card.

Great houses

* House Stark, the honorable rulers of the cold North. The Stark shield is a grey direwolf on a white field. Prominent Stark characters include Lord Eddard Stark and his wife Catelyn, their son Robb, as well as Maester Luwin, Ser Roderick Cassel, and the Blackfish. Common game mechanics include direct kill, deck searching, and improved defense. Many Stark effects are themed around military challenges.

* House Lannister, the rich and treacherous residents of Casterly Rock. The Lannister shield is a gold lion on a red field. Prominent Lannister characters include Jaime, Cersei and Tyrion Lannister, as well as Ser Gregor Clegane, Ser Addam Marbrand, and Grand Maester Pycelle. Common game mechanics include card draw, kneeling effects, and trait manipulation. Many Lannister effects are themed around intrigue challenges.

Prominent Baratheon characters include Robert, Stannis, and Renly Baratheon, as well as Melisandre, Ser Davos Seaworth, and the Knight of Flowers. Common game mechanics include power manipulation, standing effects, and retrieval of cards from the dead and discard piles. Many House Baratheon effects are themed around power challenges.

* House Greyjoy, the rulers of Iron Islands and the Ironborn raiders who prey on the rest of Westeros. The Greyjoy shield is a gold kraken on a black field. Prominent Greyjoy characters include Theon, Asha, and Balon Greyjoy, as well Euron Crow’s Eye and Aeron Damphair. Common game mechanics include location control, the ability to save characters, event cancels, and boosting the strength of attacking characters. Many house Greyjoy effects are themed around winning unopposed challenges.

Other factions

Some great houses featured in ASoIaF are not represented as individual Houses in the AGoT CCG, but still appear in the game. House Tully is present in the game as a subset of their allies, House Stark. [cite web| url = http://www.tzumainn.com/agot/cards/card-search.php?set=&house=&card_rarity=&order=card_set&card_type=&search_name=&traits=House+Tully&search_text=| title = A Game of Thrones Card Search (House Tully) | accessdate = 2007-07-16] House Lannister and House Baratheon both feature numerous House Tyrell cards, and several significant House Tyrell characters were featured as promotional cards. House Tyrell also features prominently in the A House of Thorns expansion, as does House Bolton to a smaller extent. [cite web| url = http://www.tzumainn.com/agot/cards/card-search.php?set=&house=&card_rarity=&order=card_set&card_type=&search_name=&traits=House+Tyrell&search_text=| title = A Game of Thrones Card Search (House Tyrell) | accessdate = 2007-07-16] Other lesser houses also appear in the game, in service to the Great Houses to which they are sworn. Several House Frey cards also make an appearance, primarily as neutral cards. [cite web| url = http://www.tzumainn.com/agot/cards/card-search.php?set=&house=&card_rarity=&order=card_set&card_type=&search_name=&traits=House+Frey&search_text=| title = A Game of Thrones Card Search (House Frey) | accessdate = 2007-07-16] House Arryn is a prominent theme in A House of Talons. [cite web| url = http://www.agameofthrones.com/designer_journal042007.php| title = A Tale of Two Eyries| accessdate = 2007-07-16]

In addition to the noble houses, the AGoT CCG also features many other factions present in ASoIaF as part of a particular theme. Example: The Wildings were featured in Winter Block, [cite web| url = http://www.agameofthrones.com/designer_journal072205.php| title = Winter Edition Teaser| accessdate = 2007-07-16] while the Asshai'i have been a sub theme over many expansions.

Cards

Each player supplies his own deck to play the game. A deck consists of a "House Card" or "Alliance" to represent the player's faction, an optional "Agenda" that modifies his faction, a plot deck that consists of exactly seven "Plot" cards, and then a main draw deck of at least 60 cards consisting of "Characters", "Attachments", "Locations", and "Events".

House cards

Each House card represents one of the main factions involved in the War of the Five Kings emulated by the AGoT CCG. Each House provides different strengths and weaknesses, allowing for various playstyles to interact within the same game. The House card selected will often restrict cards allowed in the remainder of the deck, by limiting cards that are marked as being allowed solely for another House.

Characters, Locations, and Attachments often have a House affiliation, and often are used in decks running a matching House card. Some cards have no House affiliation, and such neutral cards may be used freely in any deck. Cards with House affiliations other than the chosen House card may be used, providing the card itself has no restriction, but require an extra expenditure of resources to bring them into play.

Alliance cards (optional)

Introduced in the Ice and Fire Block, Alliance cards may be used instead of a regular House cards. They allow a player to use characters, attachments, and locations from either of the two Houses indicated on the Alliance card without penalty, at the cost of requiring an additional 5 power to win the game.

Agenda cards (optional)

Introduced in Valyrian Block, any deck using a House card (but not an Alliance card) may use one Agenda card. Agenda cards either modify the rules for building the player's deck, or grant an in-game advantage, typically at the cost of some other disadvantage such as requiring extra power to win, reduced card draw, or limiting claimed power.

Plot cards

Plot cards are generally regarded as the defining feature of the "A Game of Thrones CCG". Unlike the shuffled and randomly drawn resource deck, at the beginning of each round, each player chooses a new plot card to be revealed, which will have an effect on the round to be played, allowing for a strategic element to an otherwise random game.

Plot cards indicate the base amount of gold available for the player to use to bring new cards into play during his "Marshalling" phase (indicated by a number within a gold coin), a base initiative value to determine the order of play for the round (indicated by a number within a diamond), a base claim value to determine the scope of the effect that player winning a challenge (indicated by a number in a silver disk), and a text box detailing any other effects or restrictions on the plot card, including any "traits" that it might have.

Most plot cards are designed with built-in trade-offs, sacrificing high claim for low income, or some other game mechanic drawback.

Character cards

Character cards represent the unique characters from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, such as Eddard Stark, as well as generic individuals and massed groupings (such as armies) that can be found there. Generally, characters are the main focus of a deck as they are the principle card type used to participate in challenges, and thus collect the power tokens necessary to win.

Attributes of a Character card consist of a gold cost (generally represented by a number overlaid on a gold coin in the upper left corner), a name across the top that may be preceded by a black flag if the character is unique and/or an infinity symbol if the character is "endless", a House affiliation (represented by one or more House shields in the upper right corner, although neutral characters will have no shield), artwork depicting the character in the top half of the card, a strength value (represented by a number on a stylized tapestry or a nondescript shield in the middle of the left side), zero to three challenge icons (a red axe represents "Military", a green eye represents "Intrigue", and a blue crown represents "Power") arrayed in the bottom half of the left side, and a text box in the lower half of the card. Throughout the Winter block, some cards were printed with a black crow icon in the bottom left corner to indicate the character is "Doomed". It is unknown if such characters will appear again.

Within the textbox may be "traits", "keywords", other game effects or icons, and flavour text from the novels. Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent roles or groups within the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, such as Lords or Dothraki. They have no game function themselves, but instead are used to group characters together in order for other game effects to be used by or against varied groups of characters. Keywords are game mechanics defined in the rules that affect that character, such as No Attachments, which prevents any attachments from being placed on that character.

Attachment cards

Attachments are a cards that are used exclusively to modify other cards. An attachment may not be in play unless it is attached to the proper type of card, typically a character card unless the attachment itself says otherwise.

Attributes of an Attachment card consist of a gold cost (generally represented by a number overlaid on a gold coin in the upper left corner), a name across the top that may be proceeded by a black flag if the attachment is unique and/or an infinity symbol if the attachment is "endless", a House affiliation (represented by one or more House shields in the upper right corner, although neutral attachments will have no shield), artwork depicting the attachment in the top half of the card, and a text box in the lower half of the card. Throughout the Winter block, some cards were printed with a black crow icon in the bottom left corner to indicate the attachment is "Doomed". It is unknown if such attachments will appear again.

Within the textbox may be "traits", "keywords", other game effects or icons, and flavour text from the novels. Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent types of enhancements, such as skills or titles. They have no game function themselves, but instead are used to group attachments together in order for other game effects to be used by or against varied groups of attachments. Keywords are game mechanics defined in the rules that affect that attachment such as Setup, which allows the attachment to be played at the beginning of the game unlike normal attachments.

Occasionally, game effects can cause cards to become face-down attachments attached to specific other cards. These function the same as normal attachments, except they are treated as having no names, no text, no gold costs, no House affiliations, and are discarded if they are ever forced to leave play.

Location cards

Location cards represent the unique places in the setting of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, such as King's Landing, generic regions such as fiefdoms, and even mobile locations such as sailing vessels and warships. Many locations are used to supply additional "income", "influence", but a wide variety of effects are present.

Attributes of a Location card consist of a gold cost (generally represented by a number overlaid on a gold coin in the upper left corner), a name across the top that may be preceded by a black flag if the location is unique and/or an infinity symbol if the location is "endless", a House affiliation (represented by one or more House shields in the upper right corner, although neutral locations will have no shield), artwork depicting the location in the top half of the card, and a text box in the lower half of the card. Throughout the Winter block, some cards were printed with a black crow icon in the bottom left corner to indicate the location is "Doomed". It is unknown if such locations will appear again.

Within the textbox may be "traits", "keywords", other game effects or icons, and flavour text from the novels. Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent regions within the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, such as Westeros or Dorne. They have no game function themselves, but instead are used to group locations together in order for other game effects to be used by or against varied groups of locations. Keywords are game mechanics defined in the rules that affect that location, such as Limited which restricts the playing of multiple cards in succession.

Event cards

Event cards represent special actions or happenings from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels that can be used in the course of the game. Certain events may be restricted so that they may only be played by a specific House, and some may only affect cards of a particular House affiliation. Event cards generally have a play restriction or a cost of some type which may be paid in influence, gold, or possibly by modifying the game state of one or more characters, locations, attachments or house card.

Attributes of an Event card consist of a name across the top that may be preceded by a black flag if the event is unique and/or an infinity symbol if the event is "endless" and/or an open book symbol if the event is a "story event", artwork depicting the event in the top half of the card, and a text box in the lower half of the card. Throughout the Winter block, some cards were printed with a black crow icon in the bottom left corner to indicate the event is Doomed. It is unknown if such events will appear again.

Within the textbox may be "traits", "keywords", but primarily will be one or more game effects, and flavour text from the novels. Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent specific types of events such as "Story Events". They have no game function themselves, but instead are used to group events together in order for other game effects to be used by or against varied groups of events. Keywords are game mechanics defined in the rules that affect that event, such as Deathbound directing a used event to the dead pile instead of the normal discard pile.

Rules

Deck building

Each player participating in an A Game of Thrones game uses two decks - a 7 card "plot" deck and a 60+ (40+ for draft) card "draw" deck of "characters", "attachments", "locations", and "events". During play the "draw" deck cards will often end up in other game play areas including the "discard pile" (cards discarded from play) and the "dead pile" (cards that were killed or are marked with the Deathbound keyword). Typically, players are only allowed three copies of any particular card (as determined by the card name, regardless of card type or game text similarity) in their "draw" deck, and only one copy of any particular card, by name, in their "plot" deck, but these restrictions can be modified by some other cards, such as the Twins agenda.

Winning conditions

A player must earn 15 power tokens between their House card and characters in play to win A Game of Thrones. Numerous cards in the game can change the amount a player or his opponent are required to earn in order to win. 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.

Elimination conditions

Introduced in the Winter block was a way for a player to be eliminated from the game. If at any point, a player had five or more cards with the Doomed icon in their dead pile, they would be immediately removed from the game. Afterwards, if only one non-eliminated player remains, that player wins the game. Several cards in the game can change the number of Doomed cards required to lose, or manipulate the number of Doomed cards considered to be in a dead pile.

etup

At the beginning of the game, each player shuffles their "draw" deck, and draws the top 7 cards, with an option for a "mulligan" given to each player to shuffle and draw a new hand. From this initial hand, each player is able to select up to 5 gold worth of characters, locations, and attachments with the Setup keyword, but no more than 1 card of any type with the Limited keyword, from their hand; these cards are placed face-down until all players are ready to reveal their initial cards in play. Once all cards are revealed, players draw cards again until they each have 7 cards in their hand again.

Rounds and phases

The game is played through repeated rounds until one or more players meets the winning condition, or all but one player has met the elimination condition. Rounds are divided into 6 phases, with each phase allowing players to alternate actions that affect the game state in some way.

The first phase every round is the "Plot" phase. Each player selects one unused plot from his "plot" deck, and all players reveal their chosen plots simultaneously. Initiative values from plot cards and other resources are tallied, and the player with the highest initiative chooses which player will go first in each phase of the current round. The textbox effects of plots are then resolved in the order chosen by the first player.

In the second phase, the "Draw" phase, each player is allowed to draw two cards from their "draw" deck.

Although divided into turns for each player, the "Marshalling" phase is a single phase for all players. At the beginning of each player's turn in the Marshalling phase, the player counts all income from plot card and any other resources available. The player is then able to bring new resources in the form of characters, locations, and attachments into play by spending the gold. Some events and other triggered effects also require the payment of gold, and unused income is not carried over into other rounds, so resource management is important.

The fourth phase is the "Challenge" phase. As with the "Marshalling" phase, each player has a turn to initiate challenges against other players. Generally, players may initiate one each of "Military", "Intrigue", and "Power" challenges each round, but several cards can allow exta challenges to be initiated or deny certain challenges at all. Challenges can be initiated in any order, and require a player to "kneel" one or more characters with an icon matching the challenge type to begin the challenge. Then, the player being attacked may kneel one or more characters to attempt to oppose the challenge. Once all player actions are taken, the player with the highest total strength in the challenge wins. If the defending player wins, nothing special occurs, but if the attacker wins, then the defender suffers losses depending on the type of challenge initiated.
* Military - if the defending player loses, he must "kill" a number of characters he controls equal to the claim value on the attacker's plot.
* Intrigue - if the defending player loses, he must randomly discard a number of cards from hand equal to the claim value on the attacker's plot.
* Power - if the defending player loses, he must remove a number of power tokens from his House card equal to the claim value on the attacker's plot, and place them on the attacker's House card.

In the fifth phase, the "Dominance" phase, each player counts the total strength of all controlled characters that are still "standing". The player with the highest total wins dominance that round, and claims 1 power token for his House.

The "Standing" phase is the last phase each round, and each player changes each "kneeling" card to "standing".

Common game terms and rules

"Kneeling" and "standing" are the two possible game states for each card in the game. "Standing" cards are upright, and are ready for use to pay for effects, or to initiate or defend challenges. "Kneeling" cards are rotated 90 degrees to the side, to indicate that they've been used to pay for an effect, or to initiate or defend a challenge. Some game effects are able to "kneel" cards (changing them from "standing" to "kneeling") or "stand" cards (changing them from "kneeling" to "standing") in order to manipulate the resources a player has available.

"Unique" cards represent the special individuals, places, items, and happenings in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Unique cards may not be played if the player already has a copy of that card in play, or if a copy of that card can be found in the player's dead pile. Unique characters, locations, and attachments may be placed with copies that are already in play to serve as "duplicates". Duplicates may be discarded to save the unique card from being killed or discard.

"Triggered Effects" are a type of game effect that a player chooses to use in order to change the game state in some way. Triggered effects are indicated by a bold name of a phase (one of "Plot", "Draw", "Marshalling", "Challenges", "Dominance", or "Standing") or "Any phase" to indicate when the effect may be used. 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. "Triggered abilities" are a subset of triggered effects, and are specifically triggered effects that are written on cards currently in play.

"Passive Effects" are game effects that have no bold timing restriction indicated, but instead happen whenever certain prerequisites are met, such as a character coming into play.

"Constant Abilities" are game effects written on cards in play that have an ongoing effect on the game state.

"Influence" is indicated on various characters, locations, and attachments in the game by a number on a scroll in the textbox of the card. In the Valyrian block, influence was introduced as an additional resource to manage, requiring players to kneel one or more cards with a specific total amount of influence to pay for an effect.

Normally, once a game effect has been initiated, it fully resolves without an interruption. However, once an effect is begun, there is a chance for specific effects to "Cancel" the initial effect. If the effect is cancelled, all costs stay paid, use limitations remain, but the effects do not occur.

"Kill" means removing a character from play, and placing that character in the "dead pile". Kill effects only work on characters, including other cards that are currently functioning as characters, but other cards can be placed in the dead pile through various game effects, such as the Deathbound keyword.

"Discard", when occurring without the modifier "from hand", means to take a card that is in play, and place it in the "discard pile".

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. If a card is saved, it is not removed from play, and it is not considered killed or discarded.

Organized play

Night's Watch

Fantasy Flight Games has an official group of volunteers that organize sanctioned tournaments for A Game of Thrones. The Night's Watch are named after the guardians of The Wall in northern Westeros in the fictional setting of A Song of Ice and Fire. These volunteers organize tournaments, arrange demonstration games for new and interested players, and hand out promotional materials provided by FFG.

Prizes

* Gold dragons are a form of loyalty points awarded for purchases and playing in tournaments. The packaging for booster packs, starter decks, and premium starter decks all have an image of a gold coin with a number representing the number of gold dragons earned, being one, two, and five respectively. Players can also earn certificates of eighty, forty, and twenty gold dragons for placing first, second, or third (respectively) in a sanctioned tournament. Gold dragons are redeemable to FFG for older promotional cards, booster packs, and other specialized AGoT products, such as card binders, stone house cards, and house-specific power tokens. The Gold Dragon redemption program will officially end on June 30, 2008.

* Promotional cards are frequently provided to Night's Watch volunteers by FFG to be given to participants of sanctioned tournaments. Sometimes these cards follow a special theme for the tournament, but that it not always the case. Usually the cards can legally be included in any deck, but some are marked with a skull icon to indicate they cannot be included unless special rules are in effect for that tournament.

Tournaments

There are several different official tournament types sanctioned by FFG. In the "Classic" format, players bring their own decks, which may include cards from any set, as long as the card is not on the banned list. In "Standard" format, players bring their own decks, which may only include cards from the most recent blocks. As of August 2006, only cards released since Valyrian block are legal in Standard format. In "Limited" format, players instead build their decks at the tournament, using provided draft packs (in "Limited - Draft") or starter decks (in "Limited - Sealed Deck") and booster packs. [cite web| url = http://www.agameofthrones.com/faq.php| title = A Game of Thrones FAQ| accessdate = 2007-07-16]

Aside from the restrictions on usable card pool, FFG places no limits on how Night's Watch volunteers organize the tournaments.

World championships

The A Game of Thrones World Championships are held yearly at Gen Con Indy. Part of the winner's prize is the opportunity to design their own card.

Promotional cards are usually provided as prizes for participating in FFG registered tournaments, by attending certain conventions, or buying other A Game of Thrones promotional packages.

Gold Dragon Redemption

Gold Dragons are coin symbols found on the packaging of the card game merchandize. They are also awarded in sanctioned tournaments. The Gold Dragon redemption program officially ended on June 30, 2008.

Industry awards

The game's first base set - "Westeros Edition" - won the 2002 Origins Award for "Best Trading Card Game of 2002". [cite web| url = http://www.originsgames.com/awards/2002| title = 2002 - Origins International Game Expo| accessdate = 2006-10-17] The second base set - "Ice and Fire Edition" - followed next year and won the 2003 Origins Award for "Best Card Game Expansion or Supplement of 2003".
