Congratulations to the AGOT design Team.

Here's why: Tomorrow's my birthday. I decided that I'd like to try a LCG. I was torn between W:I and CoC. I asked my wife about them, and unsurprisingly she was drawn to Lord of the Rings. But with that months and month away, I showed her the video tutorials to W:I and CoC. She reckoned they looked okay and cool (in that order), but then to my surprise she pointed to AGOT and said,

"Tell me about that one."

After watching THOSE video Tutorials and discussion about themes and what the Martin novels are like..  she said AGOT looked awesome (behind the cooperative nature of Lord of the Rings).

So one Core Set is in the mail right now. You sold a box.

Just picked up the core set and awaiting my first few chapter packs to arrive @ my FLGS soon.

The LCG format was what really hooked me. No more getting burned by having to buy random boosters to get the good cards!

I'm hoping to entice more people in my area to play as well.

consider this my shoutout. i'm back baby!

also, matt "themountainthatpwns"!? where have you been man!?

I'm coming back!  Confused about the whole LCG thing b/c I was playing when it was a CCG. But i'll figure it out.

Its pretty straight forward really. Everything is fixed so you know what you are buying.

 Hi,

Recently got into this wonderful game.

Have managed to score all the cards from the Iron Thrones Edition (CCG) onwards.

Now I just gotta find more people to play with in little old Australia. LOL

Hello,

          My name is Integrity. I just got the game for my signifigant other as a very belated birthday present yesterday. Sadly, I didn't purchase the game from FFG because, despite my emails and calls, I never got a reply and bought it elsewhere.

          That aside, I'm already in love with the game. I won both matches I've played (Core Set Lannister v.s. Stark & Core Set Baratheon v.s. Targaryen; me as the former in both instances). At the moment, I'm fully intending to enjoy the core set until I have the money to start ordering Chapter packs. What I'm trying to go ahead and do, however, is come up with that house/deck I'd want to build towards. I've looked through the deck building forum, and I've only found an archetype/deck type list for Lannister.

          Though that is my favorite house in the book, I hear that Lannister seems to be the tournament winning house at the moment, and, still being a Magic: the Gathering player, dislike playing the Meta or "net decking". I was wondering if there was a better list of deck archetypes available, or what sites would be best for doing research on such topics. One of the things I loved about M:tG was the gatherer, and I was wondering if AGoT LCG had any place I could do research in a similar manner.

           Either way, I'm ecstatic about this new game, and hope to enjoy the game as much as I did the book series (if not even more).

I'm a new player and looking for people to show me the ropes.  I got my core set a while back after the reprint when everyone was scrounging for a copy and bought a few chapter packs as well.  I was attracted to the game because the Martin books are spectacular and thought it looked like fun.  Anyway, I'm on the look out for local folks who want to play and go over some of the nuances.

Another new player here, in the Minneapolis area. My wife & I got the core set this week, and are loving it so far. I dabbled in Magic years ago but this seems much more balanced, fun, and interesting - the multi-player dynamic is especially fascinating. We're planning to go to the Days of Ice & Fire event next weekend and get in on some beginner matches.

I'm back. This is my third time around with this game.

I played the original Westeros edition through the Valyrian edition, then got out for a while. Got back in briefly right before the switch to the LCG format, and now I'm back again.

I'm working at game shop in Lexington, KY...so if anyone is in the area or passing through and wants to buy/play cards, let me know!

 Another "back" player in Lexington.  Briefly got really in to the CCG at a game store in Florence, and am really hoping we can get a scene going here in KY.

TravisS, I live in Buffalo, NY and play the game. Shoot me a message on aim (gistrationP) or gmail (vaux.saladin at gmail.com - another gaming account of mine). You're not far away and it would be interesting to get in touch with any Rochester players that exist. Just got into the game myself but have been looking for players.

 Freakin' awesome game !!!

I'm a hardcore Magic: The Gathering player, national champion, multiple GP and Worlds appearances and I got my AGoT core set in June, trying to comfort myself over a bad Magic tournament. Been hooked since :) Got every chapter pack, trying to sponsor a whole group of players, doing well till now !

Glad to be part of Martin's world!

Btw, I'm from Macedonia! Shout out who knows where that is!!!

Peace!
