The Champion's Purse

"The Hand's tourney means rich lords with fat purses. The last time I came away with more silver than I could carry… or would have, if I hadn't lost it all betting on the Kingslayer to win the day."
     –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

You want honor? You want glory? These can be yours—as can all the riches that accompany the Store Championships for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game!

The season's Store Championships, which began November 25, 2017 and run to March 24, 2018, are your chance to ready your lance and spur your horse into a spirited joust. They are a step up from the March to Battle events supported by our quarterly kits, and they come with local bragging rights… After all, each store can have only one Store Champion per year!

Of course, this is A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, so the competition at your local gaming store won't be quite so straight-forward as a simple and cleanly contested joust. You'll find yourself mired in layered plots, forced to untangle webs of intrigue, and fending off assassinations, blackmail, and the ferocious warriors of the mountain clans. But if you can pull it off? If you can win…?

Honor, Glory, and Prizes

If you win your local Store Championship, you get the greatest share of honor, glory, and prizes, but there's plenty to go around for everyone. In fact, you don't even have to win to walk away with a share of the purse.

• Top 32: Alternate art The Knight of Flowers. Resplendent in his gleaming armor and situated atop a mount wreathed in laurels, this alternate art version of The Knight of Flowers from the House of Thorns deluxe expansion is ready to win his jousts, gaining strength for each event you play, and adding his victories to your power with his Renown keyword.
• Top 8: Custom deck box. Topped with the scarred visage of Chella Daughter of Cheyk, this deck box is themed to the mountain clans and exclusive to the season's Store Championships.
• Top 4: Playmat featuring Chella Daughter of Cheyk. Make your way to the Top 4, and you'll end up with even more ears than if you only reach the Top 8. Unroll your playmat, set it on the table, and command the respect of your opponents by displaying your string of ears when you sit down to play.
• Top 2: Set of acrylic ear tokens. Go all in on the ears! Yes, you can call another type of token an "ear" token when you place it on Chella Daughter of Cheyk, but why not use one of these custom acrylic ear tokens? There is no more fitting way to build the ferocious Clansman up to her full STR!
• Champion: Art plaque and Regional Championship prize bye. Whether or not you included Chella in your deck, your Store Champion art plaque will commemorate your triumph over your foes, and your Regional Championship prize bye leads you from your struggles in the Mountains of the Moon and another step down the path toward King's Landing and the Iron Throne!
