Description
A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game lets players take control of their favorite Houses from the novels — represented by trays of high-quality, pre-assembled miniatures — and lead them into battle against their opponents. Players can recreate their favorite moments from the series or create their own stories. What if the Red Wedding never happened, and Robb Stark assaulted King's Landing? Now fans can find out!
Battles can range from large-scale wars with hundreds of miniatures to simple skirmishes between a few units without complicating the elegantly designed rules. The game features several unique systems, including alternating activations that keep the players engaged; a Rank System that changes a unit's capabilities as the battle rages on; a Tactics System that provides strategic powers fueled by a finite resource each round; and, most importantly, the iconic Heroes, such as Robb Stark and Jaime Lannister, that can change the course of war both on and off the battlefield.
The Stark vs Lannister Starter Set has everything needed for two players to fight epic battles. Containing forces for both House Stark and House Lannister, players build their armies, select leaders, construct their tactics deck, and engage in one of five different game modes.

Quotes (from this video)
- A Lannister Always Pays their debts
- The Miniatures in the game come fully assembled and while you're certainly free to paint them they are pre-colored so out of the box it's very easy to see which army is which
- The winner will be the first to 10 victory points or to have the most points after eight rounds
- this was actually a hard choice to make because I'm giving up the opportunity to give up the opportunity to activate one of my combat units and get the first attack
- for every result equaling this amount or higher so three or more will count as a hit
- one of the best parts of charging is that you're allowed to reroll your misses once
- well you might have removed them from the battlefield but during their attack they did do damage to you so you need to roll a panic test
- oh man you didn't just kill kill rob you like super killed him a six I'm going to have to remove Rob Stark now from the tray
