Whether you’re a veteran of past tournaments, a casual fan, or a newcomer interested in learning the rules, Days of Ice and Fire is the premier AGoT event of the year.

The Days of Ice and Fire Tournament

Melee: Friday at 7pm
Joust: Saturday at 2pm

Join us Friday night for a contest of intrigue and politics; the Melee tasks players with forming and breaking alliances as they claw their way to the Iron Throne. This engaging multiplayer version of A Game of Thrones: The Card Game brilliantly captures the multifaceted nature of Westeros’ violent power struggles. Prefer the thrill of single combat? The Joust tournament pits players in head-to-head matchups based on Swiss-style pairings. Outwit and outmaneuver your opponent in a tense back-and-forth as you race to collect power!

Trophies will be awarded for the Melee, Joust, and overall winners, but the overall winner will also receive a stunning replica of Needle, Arya Stark’s sword! This full-sized, officially licensed replica sword is produced in remarkable detail by Valyrian Steel®. The lucky winner can take possession of the sword immediately, or we can ship it... just resist the temptation to stick your opponents with the pointy end!

Exciting Side Events

Hand of the King: Sunday at 11:30am
Civil War Melee: Running throughout the weekend

LCG fans looking for a new way to enjoy A Game of Thrones: The Card Game are invited to participate in the Hand of the King tournament, or to test their skills in the Lannister Civil War Melee.Days-of-Ice-and-Fireimg_2738.png

In The Hand of the King variant, each player appoints his own Hand of the King character as the main focal point of his deck. The character you choose will have lasting implications for your strategy, so to whom will you extend this honor? Visit our support page to download the Hand of the King rules (pdf, 328 KB), then get started building your deck!

As House Lannister rises in power, internal conflict is inevitable. But what if this wealthy and ambitious family imploded in all-out civil war? The Civil War variant pits up to six players against each other in a Melee-format competition. The catch is that in Civil War, all players share a common draw deck, but bring their own plot deck to the game! This novel variant format is running throughout the weekend, and its deck list will be available in the Days and Ice and Fire souvenir booklet. Download the rules (pdf, 424 KB) from our support page, and prepare for war.
