Suggestions to increase game speed

By GabrialKhan, in A Game of Thrones: The Board Game

Hello everyone,,

When playing I have found that the main factor in keeping players attention in the game for awhile has to do with the natural slow pace of the game. I thought maybe assigning generals to troops during planning phase would be interesting and could speed the game up. Anyone else have any ideas for increasing progression of the game??

We play that players cannot ask to look at our players' remaining house cards. You simply have to remember what's been played or play random. Easy.

This really quickens up the combat and stops people trying to calculate odds to the exact.

Try setting timers to limit Planning to 5 minutes and Resolution to 10 minutes. This works up to round 5/6, afterwards you’ll have to either stop timing or increase the length. It’s a good motivator
