Game of Thrones 2nd ed. - Game 1 - My kingdom for a barrel
Posts
No valid raid orders. Moving to march orders.
1 ship from Shipbreaker Bay to Blackwater Bay.
House Lannister to resolve one march order.
After him, play moves down the Iron Throne track then back with each player resolving one march order until all are gone
<slurps wine>
March Footman and knight from Sunspear to Storms end.
March footman from there to Pyke.
Greyjoy power tokens 5-->4
House Tyrell is up.
THE RETURN OF THE TRUE KING
Combat (vs. neutral)
Strength of units = 3
Support (Kingswood) = 1
March Order = +1
Total strength =5
Neutral eliminated.
House Lannister is up.
I also have two questions.
1. Is there any way to denote power control on the gameboard? Greyjoy has control over Greywater, but there is nothing on the map that denotes this. The game is going to get very confusing later on if we leave it as is.
2. There are cards in the Wilding Deck that force you to shuffle it. How are we going to do that with Darian holding all of the cards that the raven keeper chooses to put at the bottom of the deck?
So hopefully MrBody can find or mock-up some power tokens for the map. A shrinked version of the influence tokens would work, though it ain't going to be pretty.
2. Are there cards that shuffle the wildling deck? I only remember seeing cards that shuffled the three Westeros decks. Either way, couldn't Darian just play the card and the reshuffle the deck?
I'm not seeing any cards that shuffle the wildling deck. Which are you referring to?
House Stark is up.
Larger version
That's what I meant yah.
And this may seem like nitpicking, but I'm pretty sure the castle track gets updated as soon as castles are gained or lost.
March in Pyke: footman to Flint's Finger, footman to Seagard, Knight to Riverrun.
Stark power tokens 5-->4.
Tyrell is up.
Growing Strong!
Tyrell power tokens 5-->4
Greyjoy 4-->5
Technically we would wait to do the special consolidate/mustering orders in proper Iron Throne order, but at this stage I don't think Lannister/Stark mustering would really affect the decision of each other, so for the sake of expediency we'll just do them simultaneously (unless someone has objections).
Lannister to choose between MUSTERING (which units) or POWER TOKENS.
Stark to choose between MUSTERING (which units) or POWER TOKENS.
And it just came to me how to solve the problem of reaching the bottom of the Wildling deck. If we run out of deck cards, Darian can just start playing them by the most recent he was given, no?
At this point in the show, Riverrun is held by House Tully, Catelyn's family. The Lannisters are holding Lannisport and Harrenhall, but the Young Wolf has defeated their armies in the field in multiple battles across the riverlands and near Lannisport.
I'd be playing them in the order in which they were received (each new card is placed on the bottom, below the earlier ones). Though I also might need the ability to give cards to people at that point, so they can look at the new top card (or I could just PM card details).
Explanation of why this is:
(/Spoiler'ed for those that would rather find out for themselves how Robb was able to defeat the Lannisters.)
Hope that helps!
Available House cards
I - Winter is Coming (whopee)
II- Clash of Kings
III- Wildling Attack
Players will bid on influence tracks. First up is the Iron Throne track. PM your bid to me (mine already sent to Darian). Will proceed once all bids are received.
Available power tokens
Tyrell - 4
Greyjoy - 5
Martell - 4
Stark - 4
Lannister - 5
Baratheon - 5
Player Poll: Would people prefer the checklist House card sheet in this post, or an edited version of the House Card link in the OP with just red lines drawn through the cards that have been used?
Also, what is the 1st event card? We should always do that one before we do the bidding.
First event card in deck 1 was a reshuffle of deck 1
Deck 2 Is the bidding.
Oh gotcha, my bad.

Yeah I was just wondering why the need for ships when they already had a close direct land route to King's Landing. Then for some reason they needed Greyjoy's ships when Greyjoy is on the wrong side of the continent. That's like starting in Genoa, Italy and sailing all the way around to Venice instead of just traveling from Verona. Clearly this confusion is hindering my enjoyment of prostitute acting lessons!
So which House does the inappropriate breast feeding lady belong to? Was Tyrell the one with the butch chick knight?
The Deck I new draw is Mustering.
The bidding will be put on hold until mustering is resolved. I don't think it will change my current Iron Throne bid, but we can redo it later if anyone wants.
Mustering will be done in Iron Throne order.
Muster 1 knight in King's Landing. 1 footman in Dragonstone. 1 ship in Shipbreaker Bay.
Lannister to muster.
