## Description
If you're a fan of the A Game of Thrones series and want to bring House Martell to the table, the Princes of the Sun expansion is what you need. With 180 cards – three copies of each of the 60 original cards – the set brings iconic characters like Doran and Arianne Martell, Areo Hotah, and the dreaded Red Viper, along with deck‑building cards that give life to the Dornish vengeance strategy. What makes Martell unique is its "win by losing" mechanic: by letting opponents win certain challenges, you can win others or gain crucial advantages. The expansion also includes the “Civil War” variant, where all players share a single deck, making card access even more tense and competitive. If you enjoy games that require careful hand management, open drafting, and simultaneous action selection, you'll feel at home. Get ready to engage in negotiations, use variable player powers, and of course, dominate the table with the cunning and thirst for revenge that only House Martell can offer.
