About this expansion

A Game of Thrones: The Card Game (Second Edition) – Guarding the Realm is a 2017 Chapter Pack for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. As part of the Blood and Gold cycle, it returns players to the conflicts and intrigues of Westeros.

The events of A Storm of Swords unfold through countless smaller stories. Jaime Lannister has been freed from Riverrun and travels toward King’s Landing as Brienne of Tarth’s captive, while Jon Snow has turned his cloak and joined the wildlings as he struggles to conceal his true loyalties.

Elsewhere, Robb Stark works to regain the loyalty of his bannermen, Daenerys Targaryen plans to acquire an army of eunuchs, and Davos Seaworth returns to Dragonstone with a dangerous dream involving the red priestess, Melisandre. Although the violence of the War of the Five Kings has paused, the plots behind the scenes have grown even more powerful.

Gold takes an especially prominent role in Guarding the Realm. The pack expands the ways gold can be earned and spent, while introducing the new bestow keyword and additional economic options for every faction.

  • Continue the story of A Storm of Swords.
  • Use new economic options and explore the bestow keyword.
  • Add iconic characters to your deck, including Gilly, a new version of Melisandre, and Wex Pyke, a bastard son of House Botley.

With its focus on gold, faction-wide economic possibilities, and memorable figures from Westeros, this expansion gives A Game of Thrones: The Card Game new ways to develop the intrigues surrounding the realm.
