The beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga comes to life in this customizable card game. Players take control of the Starks, Baratheons, Lannisters, or Targaryens and attempt to plot, fight, conspire, manipulate, and bribe their way to victory. The A Game of Thrones card game can be played in a multiplayer "melee" format with three to four players, or in a one-on-one "joust" format with two players. There are hundreds of additional cards for the core living card game available separately, allowing players to customize the four houses included here, or create entirely original decks. Rick Nauertz, sales associate for Fantasy Flight Games, told TDmonthly, "With several book released, and an HBO mini series in the works, this title should garner some name recognition." Launch date: Dec. 2, 2008.
