What this is
In A Game of Thrones: The Card Game (Second Edition), players command Westeros' factions and plot their path to the Iron Throne. Whether they play a against a single opponent, in a game known as a joust, or engage in a battle of three or more players, called a melee, winning challenges against their opponents is the way to victory. At the start of each round, each player simultaneously chooses and reveals one of the plot cards from their individual seven-card plot decks.
