I am thinking of buying this game as it seems like fun but I'm finding it hard to find players. Where I live the only person who would play it with me is my brother and occasionally my dad. I was wondering if it would be possible to play just 2 players?
2 Players?
Wife and me have a really, really casual variant for 2 players
Where is it, may I ask?
i clicked the line but couldn't find it?
is it possible to attach as text?
You could try playing the 6 player variant and control multiple houses, that might work for a two player game. i.e Baratheons, Tyrells, and Starks vs the Dornish, Greyjoys, and Lannisters. I've never tried it myself but would be interested to see if it works. Thematically it makes a bit of sense, since the game takes place during the War of the Five Kings, and both Baratheons and Tyrells vouched for Stark support, and Tyrion attempted to marry Myrcella off to a Dornish Prince while the Greyjoys went after the Starks. All in all if you get the game, I doubt you'll be disappointed. It's an excellent substitute for Risk.
I have tried the 6 player variant with just two people. It is really fun, each one controls 3 houses chosen at random.
