The new expansion is sweet! Unfortunately, with a bunch of new cards, there is bound to be some rule discrepancies. The only big problem we ran into was Siege of Winterfell.

If anyone who knows would be so kind as to list all the ways that Seige of Winterfell prevents you from obtaining power. The issue arose with the word "claim" on the Agenda.

Siege of winterfell.

"You cannot claim power for your house except during M challenges. Response: After you win a M challenge claim 2 power for your house."

From our interpretation, this only prevents claim from unnaposed intrigue and power challenges, though 'taking' power from your opponent as a result of the claim of a power challenge. As it is moving power not claiming power, it was argued.

This is correct, you still get to steal a power for the claim of winning your power challenge, you just cannot get power for unopposed on Intrigue/Power challenges, and for Dominance.

interesting. That's how we played it out, and it seemed like a very small price to pay for gaining two power every successful military challenge. It was VERY effective!

One of the crazy things about it is when you win as the defender too, or play a plot that allows extra military challenges, or even use the epic phase events that allow another military challenge.

Yes, this was answered somewhere on here before. "Claiming power" means taking power from out of play and putting it into play (on the house card if a player is claiming power, on the card in play if it is claiming power). Keep in mind that in addition to the above mentioned dominance and unopposed, you are also prevented from claiming power through card effects such Winter Festival. A card like Make an Example would only work during a military challenge. Moving power from one place to another does not count as claiming power.
