Thoughts/comments/whatnot? Considering getting it for the house since we watch it as a house and it'd be something cool to do on GoT sundays.

:?: :?: subjective...

In fact there is an awesome game designed 20 minute tutorial on youtube to explain the rules. Albeit the first game takes quite the learning curve. It plays 3-6... 4 may be ideal, but then again I've never done 6...(only played a handful of times, got it for my brother for christmas)

Still the game once known is like 3-4 hours (has a 7 turn limit). First one is like 5-6 hours.. Not bad, I'm use to Axis and Allies 6 hour minimum.

Needless to say I highly recommend the game. Its so backstabbingly cool.

Probably looking at 3-4 players on average.

Just trying to get a feel for what other scummers think before I go buy it.
The concept is very cool.. because theirs no luck in dice.

^Give the tutorial a go. It may be a little overwhelming without the rules to refer to.

Also there's helpful quicksheets.

Ah ya it probably helps that most involved are GoT addicts.
