How to Play A Game of Thrones: The Board Game (Second Edition) – A Feast for Crows

Objective del Jogo

The A Feast for Crows scenario introduces a new way for players to score victory points. Players no longer use the Victory track to record the number of Castles and Strongholds they control. Instead, each player now advances on the Victory track by completing the objectives described on his Objective cards, with the goal of being the first and only player to reach position 7.

Preparação (Setup)

This expansion includes a variant 4-player scenario that provides an alternate setup, a new set of victory conditions, and the opportunity to play as House Arryn. This scenario is only playable with four players. Unless specifically stated otherwise, follow all the rules from the core game as normal.

1. Gather House Materials: The House Arryn player collects all House Tyrell (green) components from the core game, excluding the Tyrell House cards and Highgarden Garrison token. For the remainder of the game, all House Tyrell components are considered House Arryn components.
2. Scenario Setup Cards: When playing the A Feast for Crows scenario, follow the setup instructions on each House’s Scenario Setup card instead of the instructions printed on the player screens.
3. House Cards: Players use the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon House cards from the core game as well as the Arryn House cards included in this expansion. The Arryn House cards are compatible only with the included A Feast for Crows scenario.
4. Westeros Deck I: Replace all Westeros Deck I cards from the core game with the Westeros Deck I cards that are included in this expansion.
5. Neutral Force Tokens: The instructions for placing the Neutral Force tokens are identical to the 3-player core game, except no Neutral Force token is placed on Storm’s End. The King’s Landing and The Eyrie Neutral Force tokens are treated as Garrison tokens belonging to House Lannister and House Arryn respectively. King’s Landing is not considered a home area despite the presence of a Garrison token.
6. House Arryn's Home Area: The Eyrie is House Arryn’s home area. The Power token placed there during setup cannot be removed and functions identically to the printed House shield found on other home areas.
7. Special Objective Cards: Each player takes the Special Objective card that corresponds to his House, and places it faceup in his play areas. Special Objective cards always remain visible to all players.
8. Objective Deck: Shuffle the Objective deck and deal 5 objective cards facedown to each player. Then, each player chooses 3 Objective cards to keep; the chosen cards form the player’s objective hand. All Objective cards not chosen are shuffled back into the objective deck. Players may look at their objective hand at any time, but they cannot show or talk about their hand with other players.
9. Victory Point Token: Each player’s Victory Point token starts the game beside the game board.

Fluxo do Jogo

After each Action phase, players resolve these additional steps:

1. Update Supply: In turn order, all players update their supply levels (as if they were resolving the “Supply” Westeros card in the core game) and then reconcile their armies.
2. Score Special Objectives: Each round, during this step, each player may choose to score his Special Objective card (if the criterion described is fulfilled), moving his Victory Point token forward one space.
3. Score Other Objectives: In turn order, each player may choose to score one Objective card of his choice from his objective hand (if the criterion described is fulfilled), placing the scored card faceup in his play areas and moving his Victory Point token forward a number of spaces equal to the number next to his House sigil on the scored card. Scored Objective cards remain faceup in a player’s play area for the remainder of the game. Unlike Special Objective cards, these cards can only be scored once.
4. Draw Objective Cards: Any player who does not have 3 Objective cards in his objective hand draws 1 new Objective card and adds it to his objective hand.

Fim de Jogo e Pontuação

After the Draw Objective Cards step, if any one player occupies position 7 of the Victory track, that player wins the game. If, at this time, two or more players tie by occupying position 7 of the Victory track, the tied player who controls more total land areas wins. If there is still a tie, the tied player who is highest on the Iron Throne Influence track wins.

Dicas para Vencer

• Focus on completing the objectives described on your Objective cards to advance on the Victory track, as this is the primary way to win the game.
• Strategically choose which 3 Objective cards to keep at the end of setup, as these will form your initial objective hand and guide your early game strategy.
• Pay attention to your opponents' visible Special Objective cards and scored Objective cards to anticipate their progress on the Victory track.
