Description
In the world of A Game of Thrones, alliances are forged and broken with ease, and the art of combat is a matter of life and death. A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Trial by Combat brings this intense and unpredictable experience to your tabletop, challenging 2 to 4 players to navigate the intricate web of loyalty, power, and deception. With a playtime of 60 minutes, you'll have just enough time to form alliances, launch surprise attacks, and outmaneuver your opponents, all while managing your hand of cards and making strategic decisions that will determine the fate of Westeros. As an expansion to the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, Trial by Combat introduces 60 new cards that expand on the themes of melee combat and alliances, allowing players to reinforce their strategies and forge mutual benefits with their temporary allies. But beware, for when these alliances falter, the cards can quickly turn against you, and you'll need to use all your cunning to play your opponents against each other. The game mechanics of hand management, card drafting, simultaneous action selection, and variable player powers all come into play, making Trial by Combat a thrilling and unpredictable experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With a normal level of complexity, Trial by Combat is easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games, but it's the depth and strategy that will keep you coming back for more. The game's designers, Nate French, Eric M. Lang, Christian T. Petersen, and Damon Stone, have crafted an experience that's both true to the spirit of the Game of Thrones series and uniquely engaging as a card game. So gather your friends, grab your copy of the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game core set, and get ready to embark on a trial by combat that will test your mettle and leave you breathless.
