Game of Thrones Miniatures Game Review

[@JohanVek]

I was intrigued by this game during the summer and searched for reviews...or just some information...and found nothing. Indeed. Remarkable, especially given the resources put into the production and license! Thank you for this video and the related ones!

[@paintngamecorner5229]

This is exactly what I found. I have never seen a game so under-marketed as this. Especially with the prestigious IP. Crazy! Have just bought the Lannister and stark expansions. So looking forward to some list builds.

@@paintngamecorner5229 I appreciate the content, and it is obviously needed on YT (another Kill Team unboxing not so). I did random searches on the subject and your channel the other day. I am on the fence regarding the game, but the core set might be worth picking up just for daring the fantastic minis, never mind the sleek ruleset!

[@DsHowe24]

The sculpts of the models are phenomenal, but I was struggling to get them put together lol

[@paintngamecorner5229]

Couldn’t agree more. The models are such good quality, however, just a pain to put together. You have to be careful cutting from sprue and there is so much flash! Also no numbering system for parts and no instructions. I now have the Batman miniatures game starter set, and again minis look awesome!

I've been having a great time with painting the models (even though they are a pain to assemble). But do you have any idea what the different symbols on the back of the Intrigue tokens are for? I can find the rules about setting and revealing tokens, but I can't figure out what the different symbols do when revealed

[@paintngamecorner5229]

I assume it is future proofing, so your opponent may reveal certain objective tokens to score objective cards? However, this is just a guess.

[@Korhal23]

@paintngamecorner5229 that makes sense, and matches what I was starting to suspect. There's just enough translation issues and future proofing in the rulebooks and app that I just wasn't sure, especially since there's like no one talking about the game online. Like, why do some characters in the app have powers that talk about revealing "suspects"? I assume those are just intrigue tokens but the word suspect never appears in the rulebook. Why do the symbols on the backs of the tokens have distinct names in the components list but are never mentioned again? Why does the rulebook talk about a Sansa model that can be a Leader or Hand, but such a model doesn't exist, meanwhile the core box has a Jaime model that can be a Leader or a hand, and is in fact the only character so far to do so? Why are there deckbuilding rules for the objective decks that so far (and may never, as far as we know) don't matter? Why have an ally designation but also so far there are no characters playable out of their faction? And yet I can't find anywhere to talk about this game online, even the company's official social media barely acknowledges it. It's baffling.

​​⁠yes agree with all your points, I find it bizarre that they are not marketing this. game! the game is a re-skin of Batman Miniatures Game. This is where the term suspect comes from. Also as this is a more established game they have different factions with objective cards, so there is some deck building, but not in GoT yet. Sansa is the expansion pack I bought. Basically, she can be your leader alongside Cat, therefore having two ncu characters.

Did your starter come with Ned Stark? Was it a preorder or did you order it normally?

[@paintngamecorner5229]

I bought off online store, not preorder and it came with Ned Stark. Also did same for Batman miniatures and got the preorder bonus minis there too. I think they have just bundled together with all starter sets?

[@revivasfernandez]

@ ah thanks. Was that KM’s store or a local shop?
