Description
A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Princes of the Sun is an expansion that brings the heat of Dorne to your tabletop, with 120 cards that let you play as the vengeful House Martell. Released in 2009, this expansion is designed for 2 to 4 players and takes about 60 minutes to play, making it a great addition to game nights. The rules are of normal complexity, so if you're familiar with board games, you'll have no problem picking it up. You'll get to know infamous Martell characters like Prince Doran, Princess Arianne Martell, and the Red Viper, as well as other key players in the Martell family. As you delve into the world of Princes of the Sun, you'll discover that House Martell excels at icon manipulation, producing influence, and seeking vengeance. In fact, their counterintuitive win strategy is all about "winning through losing" – letting your opponents win certain challenges so you can win others or gain an advantage. This unique approach makes for a thrilling gameplay experience, especially when combined with the expansion's "Civil War" game variant, which lets players compete for limited resources in a single deck. With three copies of each of the 60 unique cards, you'll have a full play set to start building your House Martell deck right away. Whether you're a fan of the A Song of Ice and Fire series or just looking for a new challenge, Princes of the Sun offers a fresh and exciting way to play A Game of Thrones: The Card Game. With its focus on negotiation, strategy, and a little bit of backstabbing, this expansion is perfect for anyone who loves fantasy, medieval-themed games, or just a good fight. So gather your friends, choose your allegiance, and get ready to unleash your inner Dornish prince or princess – the game of thrones is waiting, and the sun is rising over the sands of Dorne.
