"The Mage was not like other maesters. People said that he kept company with whores and hedge wizards, talked with hairy Ibbenese and pitch-black Summer Islanders in their own tongues... Some even whispered that once he had killed a man with his fists."
–George R.R. Martin, A Feast For Crows

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the fifth monthly Chapter Pack of the Secrets of Oldtown cycle of expansions for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, Mask of the Archmaester!

Another Link in the Chain

Mask of the Archmaester introduces 60 cards - 3 copies each of 20 never-before-seen locations, attachments, characters, events, and plots to aid your A Game of Thrones deckbuilding goals. This Chapter Pack features more Chain attachments as well as more diverse and surprising events and support for the ever-deepening Maester trait.

New characters from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series will be introduced into the Living Card Game environment for the first time, including Ser Jon Fossoway and The Mad Mouse. Exciting new versions of existing characters will also enter the fold, including a Rickon Stark that will aid House Stark's deck-searching capabilities. Watch out as sub-themes expand further, including House Dayne's Starfall Cavalry, Iron Fleet Raiders, and more.

Events, such as The Archmaester’s Wrath, will benefit your attack against your opponent. The Archmaester’s Wrath allows a player to take advantage of having Maester characters in play, unexpectedly forcing himself and his opponent to discard characters outside the challenges phase.

Forge new links in your chain and rise high in the Citadel's hierarchy when Mask of the Archmaester releases in the third quarter of 2011!
