A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Epic Battles

About this expansion

A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Epic Battles is a 2008 chapter pack for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes.

As the fourth monthly installment in the A Clash of Arms cycle, Epic Battles adds twenty different cards designed to augment existing decks and bring fresh variety to the A Game of Thrones metagame. The pack draws on the military conflicts of the War of Five Kings, placing the warring factions in direct, epic confrontation.

Players have control over where and when battles take place, allowing them to shape the field to their liking. That control creates a tense balance between immediate victories and the larger struggle: in the game of thrones, winning every battle does not necessarily mean winning the war.

• Twenty different never-before-seen cards
• Designed to augment existing decks
• Military battles inspired by the War of Five Kings
• Part of the six-pack A Clash of Arms cycle

Epic Battles follows The War of the Five Kings, Ancient Enemies, and Sacred Bonds in the cycle, and is followed by Battle of Ruby Ford and Calling the Banners. The first edition included one of each character card, while the second edition includes three copies of each card.

For players looking to expand their card pool, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game – Epic Battles offers a focused set of cards centered on battlefield control, deck enhancement, and the dramatic cost of fighting a wider war.
