In every game, you select devious plots and challenge your opponents on the field of battle, through back alley intrigue, and in the political arena. In the A Game of Thrones LCG, players construct their own decks and vie for the Iron Throne in a world of even more deception, intrigue, and infamy. Penley, who first became a fan of the show and then read the books to keep feeding her obsession, spent a long time thinking about which house would represent each playing card. A block consisted of a base set, up to two expansion sets, a premium starter, and often one or more promotional cards. 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.

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. 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. Hang up your quad blasters and stow away those headphones blasting out the Guardians of the Galaxy Soundtrack for an interplanetary journey with this new Guardians of the Galaxy edition of Top Trumps Specials. Also available in regular and premium starters were a specific number of fixed cards that always appeared in that packaging. These are now out of print everywhere and will make a great collectable gift for every Game of Thrones fan.

Common game mechanics include power manipulation, standing effects, and retrieval of cards from the dead and discard piles. 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. Each suit reflects a key house or faction, like the Lannisters, the Starks, and Daenerys's khalasar. Over the course of a game, players use their plot cards, which represent their Houses’ various schemes and pursuits, to gain various advantages.

Aside from the restrictions on usable card pool, FFG places no limits on how Night's Watch volunteers organize the tournaments. Stealth: When a player declares attackers in a challenge, for each of his attacking characters with the Stealth keyword he may choose one of his opponent’s characters without Stealth.Occasionally, game effects can cause cards to become face-down attachments attached to specific other cards. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.
