## Description
Get ready to enter the most dangerous game of all: the fight for the Iron Throne. In A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, you aren't just playing cards; you're weaving conspiracies, bribing allies, and commanding armies in a world where betrayal is the most valuable currency. The game puts you in command of iconic houses such as the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, or Targaryens, each with its own playstyle and unique advantages.

The big game-changer here is the LCG (Living Card Game) format. Forget the anxiety of buying blind packs hoping for a rare card; here, expansions are fixed. You know exactly what you're getting, making deckbuilding an exercise in pure strategy and customization. The Core Set provides everything you need to start fighting for power, but the universe expands monthly with new packs that add depth, new stories, and, of course, more ways to screw over your opponents.

The dynamics are intense and demand focus. With simultaneous action selection and hand management, you must anticipate your opponent's moves while keeping your own plans secret. Whether playing in 'Fight for Power' mode (3 or 4 players) or 'Duel' mode (for 2 players), the tension is constant. Will you focus on brute military force or prefer the subtlety of diplomacy and political intrigue? The choice is yours, but remember: in Westeros, those who play the game wrong end up losing their heads. This is a game for those who love deep strategy, deck customization, and the dense atmosphere created by George R.R. Martin.

## FAQ
### Do I need to buy hundreds of cards for the game to be fun?
The Core Set is fully functional and fun on its own, but expansions allow you to refine your strategy and create unique decks.

### Is it hard to learn?
Yes, it has a medium-to-high complexity. If you've never played strategic card games, it'll take a while to master the rules, but the reward is worth it.

### How many people can play?
From 2 to 4 players. You can have a tense duel or a general fight for power.

### How long does a game last?
Usually between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the number of players and how much time you spend negotiating.

### What exactly is an LCG?
It stands for Living Card Game. Unlike traditional CCGs, you buy packs with fixed cards, removing the luck of the draw and making deckbuilding easier.
