King's Landing

By Madduxx, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

It's been awhile since I've asked a question on the forums since I can typically find an answer searching the forums. Difficult for sure, but not impossible given time.

Here is the situation we had tonight I was hoping someone could clarify. My apologizes if this exists elsewhere! Thanks in advance.

King's Landing reads:
After a card comes out of Shadows, stand King's Landing.
Any Phase: Kneel King's Landing to draw a card. Use this ability only if you control more King's Landing locations than each opponent

Our question is... if an opponent has another King's Landing location card in play, however it was played as an attachment to a House card, would that count towards controlling a King's Landing location for checking to see if the owner of King's Landing controls more King's Landing locations than each opponent?

Example:
If I have King's Landing in play and my opponent has Queen Cersei's Chambers OR King Robert's Chambers in play as an attachment on their House card do I control more King's Landing locations?

We always played, that the card attached to the house card is no longer a location but turned into an attachment ('...you can play it as an ATTTACHMENT to your housecard,' and not ' you can attach the location to your housecard'.)

That would mean, that you have more King's landing locations, as the other two are King's landing attachments...right.

FAQ to the rescue!

"An attachment is defined as a card in your deck, hand, discard pile, or dead pile, of the actual 'attachment' card type, as well as any card in play that is considered to be 'attached' to another card. [...]

When a card is 'attached,' it loses any other card type (character, location, event) it may have."
