Description

Get ready to shake up your Battles of Westeros experience with the Brotherhood Without Banners expansion, designed by Robert A. Kouba and first released in 2011. This expansion introduces a new ally force that can join forces with your primary House, whether that's House Stark or House Lannister, bringing a fresh layer of strategy to the game. With new unit types, scenarios, cards, and commanders, you'll have even more options to outmaneuver your opponent in this 60-minute, two-player game. The Brotherhood units are a game-changer, with their tan-colored miniatures and unique activation rules that set them apart from other ally forces. As you delve into the world of Westeros, you'll encounter three new commanders, each with their own strengths and abilities. Lord Beric Dondarrion, Anguy "the Archer", and Thoros of Myr are sworn to protect the smallfolk, and they bring their own brand of justice to the battlefield. With new thematic keywords like Call to Arms and Scrapper, you'll be able to incite the local peasantry to join the fight and unleash stubborn, hardy fighters on your opponent. The normal complexity of the game rules makes it easy for board game enthusiasts to pick up, and the combination of campaign, battle card driven, dice rolling, and hand management mechanics ensures a thrilling experience. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, Brotherhood Without Banners is the perfect way to mix things up and add some excitement to your Battles of Westeros gameplay.
