I really liked this video, with one exception. I personally feel that each game tutorial should begin introducing victory and end-game conditions so that the player can keep that goal in mind when you're explaining everything else. Other than that, it's an INCREDIBLY well polished and succinct explanation of the core concepts to get new players familiar enough to let more experienced players (and the rulebook) fill in the gaps.

[@HardPass]

excellent point.

[@Kajotex]

Further input: Greyjoy player didn'T need to use the Valerian Steel blade to get +1 to his attack, as he is higher on the fiefdom track than house Stark. In case of a draw in combat strength, fiefdom track dictates the winner.

[@beand4ddy920]

I thought whoever held the iron throne token decides the winner when there's a draw?

[@phillipeh9990]

Joshua Santorum True, EXCEPT in the case of a draw in combat, where the winner is decided by who of the two players is the highest on the fiefdom track. Being on the throne is still reaaaaaly good, just not so busted.

[@CrimzinEclipse2010]

This is hands down the most concise, clear explanation of this game I’ve ever seen.

[@themasterofstealthcj]

Thought this was insanely complicated when I saw this video but don't let that put you off. Once you've played just one game, even a few rounds, it starts to become surprisingly clear!

[@Lordofcookiejars]

As with most games like this, the hardest part is setting up the board and getting through the first turn. After that, it's really just smooth sailing and repeating the process.

[@dfhellraiser4td]

Like Smoochie said, that is definitely the norm! I remember reading the rules to Zombicide and my brain imploded...until I played and it was stupid easy. On that note, I'm definitely looking at revisiting GoT this weekend. It's been way too long since I last played it!

I played this game again recently, played it first about 2 or 3 years ago. Introduced new friends to it and they are hooked. Game is amazing, better when you are six playing, it can get very complicated and really tense, but thoroughly enjoyable. Better played with people who are not swift at holding grudges, I believe this game has the potential to ruin game nights and even friendships if your prone to holding grudges. Amazing game.

[@TheSm1thers]

warlight.net is a good website for playing Risk online, however people make their own variants for games such as Diplomacy. There is actually a fairly large community of people who like both GoT and strategic board games. As a result, people have created GoT maps and you can roleplay as a GoT house, playing a Diplomacy/Risk sort of game. There's up to 40 slots for players in these games, so it can get very interesting. The only downside is that people can often take too long taking their turns and get booted from the game. You can get around this by only allowing players with a certain boot rate into your games however.

Some people say they wish they had friends to play this with... But trust me, not many people will be willing to learn all the rules and how this game works. Because it is (or seems, to say the very least) too difficult and complicated. You sure can have fun playing, but it's not exactly the type of game you'd play with your friends when you're "bored". It's strategical and requires A LOT of thinking and paying attention.

There is a house rule, that if the Baratheons seem to overpowered in your 4-player games, a player plays with Tyrell instead of Greyjoy. That should compensate, or at least do it more balanced.

[@MrJL1995]

Question regarding boats: 1. can you choose to muster boats in any territories (with the consolidate power(star token)) if its close to the sea, or do you have to be in a fort 2. When you muster boats at a fort or castle, can you choose if the boats spawns in the harbor or in the sea directly or is it always spawned in the harbor. 3.Does the boats in the sea counts as a territory with troops regarding the supply limit. And if the boats is in a harbor, do they belong to that territory. 4. If the players agrees, can you lend "sea routes" to other allies? Which means i can use the areas of my boats and my allies boats to travel further. Love the game by the way. This one is definitely the favorite one among my friends! Losing and gaining friendship until finally backstabbing everyone! :D

[@Tenjeen]

1. No, mustering of ANY kind can only be done from a fort. 2. You can choose whether to spawn in the port or directly onto the sea. 3. Boats on sea and in ports count towards your supply limit, yes. And yes, ports are separate territories, so if you have 1 boat in the port and 1 in the sea directly next to it, they won't count towards the limit. 4. No, you can't use other people's ships for transportation.

[@Luxor001]

so you don't need a PORT to muster a boat? Only a fort and the adjacent sea?

the best instruction video I've ever seen

[@gortex8383]

I've several questions: 1. Are you allowed to place consolidate power tokens in areas with a power token but without units, and gain a power token? 2. can you place a consolidate power token on a port and gain a power token? 3. If 2 is true: Can you only place a consolidate power token on ports with units in it, or can you put it on all of your ports? 4. can you place order tokens on a port and the adjacent landarea at the same time? or does the order token on a port count as the same order token for the land area that the port belongs to? 5. are you allowed to remove your power tokens from the board and give up on territory, or can it only be removed if another player captures that area? 6. If you can remove your power tokens from the board, can you only do that when you march your troops into that area, or can you remove the power token at any time? 7. If you retreat, are you allowed to retreat all your units to different areas or do they have to retreat to the same territory?

[@songhirun2987]

1. Nope 2. yes if you have ships in the port. 3. Only ports with units in it. 4. yes if you have ships in the both areas. 5. it only be removed if another player captures that area. 6. No you cant. 7. i dun konw.

[@MrAaDdRr]

7. If you're the attacker and u lose the combat, you'll have to retreat all routed units to where you marched from. But if you're defending, and u lose the combat, you have to retreat all forces in the same area, not different areas.

[@d0nj03]

@@MrAaDdRr It may depend on the game edition, but AFAIK when you're defending and you lose you can split-retreat to multiple territories if they're all directly adjacent to the battle territory and only if they were all already under your control via other troops or power tokens being present (you can't capture new territories with retreating 'routed' troops).

[@nspartan011]

Okay so I have some questions and they might be stupid: 1) Do routed units that are attacked again provide any combat strength. 2)Can routed units be unrounted (rallied?) and fight again next turn? 3) Can ships support ground combat and vice versa? 4)So if the wildings card is drawn and say current strength is 6 it goes down 4? Or does it go down 2? The rulebook and video don't perfectly line up and the I like to make sure when I play with my friends I know how to clarify rules.

[@TheRyanAnimation]

nspartan011 Routed units provide no combat strength if they are attacked during the turn they were routed. If a routed unit is bested in combat it is killed and removed from the board. All routed units are readied after the turn ends and the next turn begins, thus they can attack in the next round. Ships can support land, but land cannot support ships (think canon fire from the ships). If the Wildingling strength is 6 when they attack, after bidding has concluded, the track drops to 0 (starting the game at 2), regardless if the kingdoms won or loss.

[@TheCart54321]

+Ryan T question about March orders When using a march token can I move ALL my units in that spot or just one and also how far can they travel maximum?

[@TheRyanAnimation]

You can move all units. They can go to the same place, or split up and go to different areas. However, only one is permitted to enter combat. They can travel 1 space. Ships act as bridges and a unit at dragonstone can move all the way to sunspear provided you have ships in each sea area.

[@TheCart54321]

+Ryan T one more thing. What are those little mats I'm seeing on the places with 2-4 player something on them?

[@TheRyanAnimation]

The small tiles the the "2-4", "5", and "6" are player counts to separate areas when there are less than 6 or 5 or 4 players. They stand for units that you have to beat to take over those areas.

[@MrCai01]

Its a bit daunting for the first 2-3 rounds, but everyone I've ever played it with quickly picks it up, and want another game soon as possible.

[@baldadventurer8570]

I agree. A simple +1 to defense would be awesome.

[@nicholasfotou2980]

just bought the game, thanks.

[@Truedisciple6]

Only exception to this is if you are bumped down the track by a special ability during combat. For example if Doran Martel bumps you down the King's Court track you may still keep your current star orders on the board.

[@zboobafett5984]

Played this game 3 times, the games are long (3-4 hours) depending on the number of players. But very fun. Destroyed many friendship. I recommend.

[@codyy2236]

Great instructions. However, the scenario with the combat isn't a good one. The person with the Valaryian Sword wouldn't have used it since it would have been a tie. And since they are obviously higher on that track, they win ties.

[@Double_Flush]

are you sure that's how it works? wouldn't it be the player holding the iron throne token who decides a tie-breaker?

[@codyy2236]

Nope. The holder of the Iron Throne decides all NON COMBAT related ties. Combat related ties are won by whoever is highest on the Valaryan Sword track. (Can't remember the name off hand.) :)

[@codyy2236]

Brennan Beck I'm not saying it is a bad scenario, but that doesn't make it a good one either. A better scenario would have been to have them down 1 point and use the Valaryan sword to tie and then win since they would win the tiebreaker. And even if that was the only battle Greyjoy has (which most of the time is impossible to tell) that doesn't mean they should use it.

[@Kjelstad]

+Cody Y I am at that spot in the video and was wondering the same thing. had to scroll down here to find out. now back to the video...

[@kc1423]

I just played for the first time tonight and I won as the Lannisters. I felt like it was very balanced and I had a great time. I used the A tripple kill on some units using a card. Although we were playing incorrectly because we didn't realize there were supply cards and just actively changed our supply count so we had huge armies. It worked fairly well but it would have slowed the game down a bit if we had't done that. I highly recommend it!

[@ic.xc.]

+Casey Beiser lol haha

[@guysimchony309]

I have a question for experienced players: does a player win immediately if he has 7 castles under his control at once, or do you have to wait until the end of the round to see if he retains control of all seven?

[@Pedro-ho2xj]

+Guy Simchony it says "inmediately" 19:42

[@nobodynowhere21]

The video and the rules are clear on this: the player wins immediately upon acquiring 7 castles and/or strongholds. Pro tip: if you suspect that you will achieve 7 points on an upcoming round, *do get as much influence on the Iron Throne track as possible!* March orders are resolved in order of the IT track, so if you go before an opponent who will also acquire a 7th point on a given round, the player who marches first (and thus acquiring the 7th point first) will be the winner; it will not be a "tie." This recently happened to me playing as House Lannister, and I won by virtue of having the iron throne which gave me the privilege of going first and seizing the immediate win before the Stark player could do so on the same round. He and I had bid the same amount on the previous bidding for the Iron Throne, and I broke the tie in my favor as I already had the throne previously; this bid became key to my eventual win. I've seen a few games end like this, so it's important to accumulate adequate power to get favorable positions on the influence tracks when late game bidding arises (particularly the IT for the first turn priviledge, but the other tracks are also very important).

[@joebroker5309]

R R Nope. It's at the end of the round that you count castles and the player with 7 wins. If there's a tie in that case it is the highest on the Iron Throne influence track that wins the game. So it is good to have the throne token for incase of a tie but I'd say in the late rounds it is far better to move last. You can then steal castles and strongholds without any interruption from the other houses and take the victory. I've seen and played many games like this.

[@nobodynowhere21]

Joe Broker Please take a moment to review the Rulebook -- Fantasy Flight is unequivocal on this point. From the Rules pg. 16: "Winning the Game A Game of Thrones: The Board Game ends in one of two ways: ɇ The game reaches the end of the 10th game round. ɇ Immediately after a player controls his seventh area containing a Castle or Stronghold. ... If a House, *at any time*, reaches the seventh position on the Victory Track (i.e., gains his seventh area containing a Castle or Stronghold) the game immediately ends and that player is the winner. " I'm sorry that you've seen and played many games like that.

[@Jotok]

In the rules it does not say that your own units cannot be supported... it changes everything!

[@Charris2007]

I have few questions for this game 1) Could we use Raid Order to remove adjacent Defence Order or March Order ... or we use the Raid Order to remove adjacent Supply Order, Consolidate Power, Raid order?! 2) At the Bidding, if our Star House has 8 power tokens, for each bidding we choose an amount of our tokens for ex. Iron Throne 4, Kings court 3, Fiefdom track 1 and the last is 0. After the bidding we have to give our power tokens to the treasury...?!

[@ggrievouss]

1. Only special Raid Order (with the star) can be used to remove an adjacent Defense Order. March orders cannot be removed at all. 2. You bid in turn for the Iron Throne, the Fiefdoms and the King's Court tracks, and yes, after each bid is complete, all the power tokens you used have to be discarded to the 'bank/treasury'.

[@Muzzsjm]

This boardgame can seem very complex but once you have played a round or two makes sense. Luckily game is flexible enough you can have house rules. Played last night with 5 of us game started 9pm finished mid night great fun couple of alliances and a big back stab

[@HardPass]

@ kajotex: I thought the same thing when watching the combat, but because this is a tutorial I think ffg just wanted to show the Valyrian Steel Blade being used in the course of a battle. Thus, the advantages of all influence track's is shown in the video.

[@SaberImages]

Bought this game, it's super fun. It's actually possible to play with only 2 players if each player uses two houses. Starks are at a slight disadvantage unless playing with all 6 houses.

[@gaberobison680]

Why Greyjoy is not only available to the last player surprises me. Canonically they are easily the weakest house as they have the least lands to muster an army and their advantage was having an actual professional navy.

@natanfk2: Actually, it isn't easy to capture those places at all. heThe video doesn't mention it, but depending on the number of players, the empty spaces on the board are given some defensive capabilities. Even in a full 6 player game The Eyrie and King's Landing are heavily defended.

I really wish videos like this would explain the point and play of the game before what all the pieces do

Unfortunately house Stark is the weakest one, as you can see from the influence tracks in this four player example. Stark does not hold either of the iron throne, messenger raven or the valyrian sword. Also, they are neighbours to Baratheon, Lannister and Greyjoy, which all hold a first position on the influence tracks. On the other hand, a fifth player (Tyrell), could fight for the neutral (Martell) territories and win easily, if the other players don't pay attention.

We had a five player game and it took us around 5 hours I think. But that was our first time playing. I can see time being cut down to 4 even three hours once everyone knows the game well enough.

Got the game over the weekend and it is awesome.
