Fantasy Flight Games is proud to present the latest
deluxe expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, Queen of Dragons, coming this spring! In Queen of
Dragons, House Targaryen will gather its armies and deepen its native
strengths, as well as introduce some new intrigues.
Queen of Dragons includes 165 cards - three
copies each of 55 unique cards - featuring not only solid, new cards for House
Targaryen but also neutral cards and agendas that will add variety and challenge
into decks of any House.
Standing on the Field of Fire
For more insight into this expansion, we present these
notes from Queen of Dragon's developer, Damon Stone.
"In the books, House Targaryen is Daenerys
Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons. Her story of hatching the dragons,
winning the loyalty of armies through guile, and seizing cities by strategic
brilliance (all in her pursuit of reclaiming the Iron Throne in the name of her
House) are epic.
I knew that I really wanted to concentrate on these
themes, but deciding which to tackle first was easy: The Dragons. I wanted to
give the players the tools to create a powerful Dragon-themed
deck. That meant three new dragons each capable of finding a home as a support
card in a regular Targaryen deck, but which could work together to create an
overwhelming force, leaving death and destruction in their wake. The story of
Aegon and the Field of Fire had always stuck with me. The ideas of these giant
dragons being used to expand Aegon's realm was interesting but when all three
descended on the same battlefield, they killed or routed an army of 55,000
men.
As you can see, each Dragon's effect
could slot into a number of Targaryen decks... but the strength of the
Dragons is in their working in concert. As each dragon joins in on
the attack it creates a bigger impact on the board. I really wanted the reaction
of seeing all three Dragons on the board to be one of dread. It
was important for me to try and capture this in a way that made them instantly
attractive to players without them creating an automatic loss for the player
facing them. Ambush was an early design choice, representing to me the dragons
swooping in from the heavens, and Stealth backed this up. As the mother of
dragons Daenerys was the perfect centerpiece of the dragon deck, making them
even more fearsome in battle.
Masters of Spear and Shield and
Shortsword
Throughout the course of the novels Daenerys seeks to
raise the necessary armies to conquer Westeros. This was one of themes I really
enjoyed exploring. It was an opportunityto bring out the
Unsullied and mercenary themes present in the novels without
leaving behind the Dothrakis which are one of their established
sub-themes. The armies and army support cards (including neutral cards) present
here give the Targaryen player a broad range of effects: Stealth, Deadly, Burn,
War Crest, and standing. Diverse enough in scope to cover most bases, but tied
together through the Army trait allowing for some very nice synergy.
While the set itself is geared towards those lovers
of the House of Dragons, it contains many important cards useable by any House
in their goal of ruling all of Westeros, such as River Row, Dissension, and
Kingsroad Fiefdom. Two of the more intriguing cards: the Heir to the Iron Throne
Agenda, which, with careful deck-building, can be the lynchpin for rush or
control decks; Threat from the East, a versatile new plot that can be a boon to
you or a weapon against your opponents, really put the choice in the players'
hands game by game in how these cards will be used."
