Just picked up my copy of AGOT and im excited to play,

I heve been reading the strategies and comments here and on BGG but dont really see to many on 3 player games.

Any advice on 3 player games? Thats my usual group size.

3 player is normally greyjoy, stark and baratheon.

play that a few times, then try others like;

- lannister, stark, baratheon.

- martell, tyrell, lannister

- baratheon, tyrell, lannister.

Unless you are talking about a home variation.  3 Player normal houses are Stark, Lannister, Baratheon.

In a three player game, Stark has to take the Eyrie by the end of round 2 and start putting pressure on Baratheon by round 3.  You can read other posts on how to accomplish this, but if you don't do that, or Baratheon is a first time player, Baratheon is really hard to keep from winning.

Definitely try other house combos in a three player game.  Its fun any way you play it.

I've discovered that in three-player games, Lannister must compete with Baratheon for control of the south while Stark must hold the north and the northeastern sea in order to have balanced game.  If Lannister and Stark get into a fight over the neck, Baratheon will win at a cakewalk.
