Description

A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Epic Battles is an explosive expansion that brings the military might of the War of the Five Kings to life, allowing 2 to 4 players to clash in epic fashion over the course of 60 minutes. With a normal level of complexity, this game is easy to pick up for anyone familiar with board games, and its blend of hand management, card drafting, simultaneous action selection, and variable player powers ensures that no two battles are ever the same. As players navigate the intricate web of alliances and rivalries, they must use their wits to outmaneuver their opponents and control the battlefield. The game is part of the "A Clash of Arms" cycle, a series of expansions that add depth and variety to the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game experience. Epic Battles is the fourth installment in this cycle, and it introduces twenty new cards that can be used to augment existing decks and add fresh strategic options to the game. With the ability to shape the field of battle and determine when and where the fighting takes place, players must balance short-term gains with long-term goals, all while keeping a wary eye on their opponents' moves. It's a delicate dance of power and deception, where winning every battle doesn't necessarily mean winning the war. As players engage in Epic Battles, they'll need to negotiate and strategize with their opponents, using their unique abilities and strengths to gain the upper hand. The game's medieval fantasy setting, inspired by George R.R. Martin's bestselling Song of Ice and Fire saga, adds a rich layer of depth and immersion to the gameplay experience. With its engaging mechanics and intense battles, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Epic Battles is a must-play for fans of the series and anyone who enjoys a good fight. Published in 2008, this expansion has been thrilling players for years, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the game's timeless appeal.
