Description

--- "The War of Five Kings" is the first Chapter Pack in the "A Clash of Arms" cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, delivering 20 unique cards to expand decks and enrich the metagame. Key mechanics include: - *20 never-before-seen cards* Designed to augment existing decks and introduce variety to the A Game of Thrones metagame. - *Edition differences* First edition provides one copy of each character card; second edition includes three copies of each. - *Cycle structure* Initial monthly installment of the "A Clash of Arms" cycle, followed by Ancient Enemies, Sacred Bonds, Epic Battles, Battle of Ruby Ford, and Calling the Banners. - *Thematic warfare* Captures the War of Five Kings era, with kings summoning hosts, queens guarded by knights, and a shift from treaties to battlefield champions proving their worth. The War of Five Kings serves as the premiere monthly Chapter Pack of fixed cards within the "A Clash of Arms" cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, drawn from George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire saga. It introduces twenty distinct, previously unreleased cards specifically crafted to enhance and diversify current decks, thereby broadening the game's metagame landscape. The pack's editions vary: the first includes a single copy of each character card, while the second edition supplies three copies per card. Thematically, it immerses players in the escalating conflict of the War of Five Kings, where the realm abandons diplomacy amid summoned armies, queens shielded by loyal knights, and warriors vying for supremacy on Westeros' battlefields. This pack launches the cycle, succeeded by Ancient Enemies, Sacred Bonds, Epic Battles, Battle of Ruby Ford, and Calling the Banners. ---
