• Shadows: A returning mechanism from the first edition.
• Shadow cards: Characters, locations, attachments, and events bearing the Shadow keyword.
• Dark intrigue: Assassins, spies, conspirators, and secrets wait in the twilight.
• Dance of Shadows: The fifth cycle of Chapter Packs begins here.

Every faction must embrace the darkness and follow the path of shadows—or fade into obscurity. The Shadow City brings this theme to the forefront through a collection of hidden threats and returning ideas.

For players continuing the second edition, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game uses The Shadow City to open a new chapter in its story and introduce the Dance of Shadows cycle. It is designed for games of 2–4 players and carries the atmosphere of secrets, conspiracies, and danger found in the world of Westeros.
