Description:

The game is based on my own Royal Blood game (in turn based on GW's old
classic Blood Royale) The game covers the dynastic struggle between the
houses, great and small, in Westeros.

More details tbc but:

*control a great or small house
*arrnage marriages to seal alliances and to produce heirs
*train the children of your house to make them better
*compete for spots in the Kings Small Council
*raise armies and go to war!
*try to become King of Westeros!
*set before the events of "A Game of Thrones"
*take part in the Nights Watch!
*each turn is 5 years

We're taking players on right now and I'll hand out the Houses on a first
come, first served basis. If you want to take on a great houses then
you'll need to email with a brief summary of WHY you should run that house
and have a list of at least 3 alternative houses

Having read the books is helpful but not at all essential.
