How about GoT for cheap, real cheap?

At Amazon it was $19.99. It started dropping about three days ago and is now $10.99 and eligable for free shipping. I don't get it, but it's beyond a steal.

Something must be going on, but I don't know what. GoT in theory is not an everlasting expanding game like AGoT. I suspect we might see an expansion to make it playable 4-handed and perhaps a few other expansions. But nothing like LCGs. So what's the incentive to blow these out so cheap?

Sorry to disagree, but I doubt we'll be seeing any more of this game. It will probably stay in production at least until the new season ends, but this is not a game intended for gamers. It is a game for fans of the show and possibly books if they're not reader elitists ; D AGoT and the board game are for gamers. That's not to say these are mutually exclusive groups or that this is a money grab, I just feel like this is a one-off title. I would welcome an expansion as this is an interesting niche of the gaming market. This, the Spartacus game, and Cryptozoic's LotR deckbuilding game I feel form a entry point genre for a gateway market that is usually funneled to Arkham or Pandemic or the like. Just some thoughts. Cheers!

Well, let's remember to check back at the end of next year to see who was right--it may indeed be you. However, remember it, if things go right, should be on HBO for a number of years into the future.

Also it went back to $22 on Amazon.

Perfect time for mine to arrive ^.^ I think with the expansive card pool of the LCG and the games' core similarity, it might be considered a stepping stone. One thing I didn't consider is the card art. I'm a little less sure about expansions as some players may want a game for the show rather than for the universe. We shall see indeed ;D
