“This is another world, thought Tyrion, but not so different from the world I know."

–George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

The ever-changing political and military landscape of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire ensures that no Great House can hope to maintain control for long. Experience the impact of Westeros’ frequent shifts in power firsthand at the upcoming Days of Ice and Fire 2012 weekend!

At this May 18th-20th event, FFG will debut a never-before-seen scenario for A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition. The A Dance with Dragons scenario will be made available as a Print on Demand expansion a few months after this exciting weekend, but attendees will have a chance to play it first. What’s more, each early registrant will receive an exclusive advance copy!

Westeros as You Last Saw It (Warning! Spoilers Ahead)

While A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition presents events as they occurred in the first two novels of Martin’s series, clever scheming and timely betrayals throughout the subsequent three novels dramatically alter the fortunes of each Great House. The A Dance with Dragons scenario imagines Westeros as it appears in the fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire: Stannis holds The Wall, House Bolton controls Winterfell, the Lannisters have taken King’s Landing, and more.

With 42 alternate House cards that feature the characters relevant to this period of Westeros’ history, A Dance with Dragons is a special, expert-level, six-player scenario that immediately thrusts players into a grim struggle for survival. After a brief alternate setup to reflect each House’s position in Westeros, you’ll quickly be forced to forge new alliances and discover new strategies.

Remember: only by registering for Days of Ice and Fire 2012 before May 4th will you receive an early copy of this exciting new scenario. After that, you’ll have to wait for the official POD release in the months following the event.
