New to the game

By xbluejayx, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hello,

I just purchased A Game Of Thrones LCG core set. After watching the tutorial videos and reading the enclosed rulebook 3 times through, I'm still not very comfortable with teaching the game to a few friends of mine as of yet. I've created 3x5" cards with for each phase to help me walk through each phase and its steps. I can't say by playing solo-games by against myself or the 3x5" cards are helping much... lol

I have a question about duplicates during the death/discard/take out of play actions of "X" card.

If I have a duplicate of "X" card in play and it happens to be removed from play due to game effects, damage, etc. Are my duplicates of "X" card are removed from play well?

My second question: If I have "X" character card in play and if the character dies do I have to remove all the duplicates of "X" card from my deck? I've read someone where online that if "X" character card dies in play, all copies of "X" card have to be removed from your deck. The instruction manual isn't clear about this.

Any help will be appreciated.

save

If you have an effect removing "Card X" from play that specifically says "cannot be saved," then you would not be able to use the duplicate to save the card from the effect. In that case, the duplicate is discarded when the card leaves play.

at all,

You may want to look at the timing charts in the FAQ instead of trying to create 3x5 cheat sheets. The gameplay is actually pretty straightforward once you get over the initial intimidation factor.
