Every man who wore the black walked the Wall, and every man was expected to take up steel in its defense, but the rangers were the true fighting heart of the Night's Watch. It was they who dared ride beyond the Wall, sweeping through the haunted forest and the icy mountain heights west of the Shadow Tower, fighting wildlings and giants and monstrous snow bears.
–George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that the Defenders of the North cycle of Chapter Packs for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game has been reprinted and is now once again on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore !

Each of these six Chapter Packs contains 60 cards (3 copies each of 20 different cards), updated from the earlier 40-card format, and each conveys the dangers that lie far to the north and beyond the Wall.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins

From beginning to end, the Defenders of the North cycle focuses on the men who travel north to the Wall, where they take the black of the Night’s Watch . New characters, locations, events, and agendas develop the importance of the brothers in black and their vigil at the northern edge of the world. Simultaneously, the Defenders of the North follows the Wildlings of the north as they prepare for war. The cycle’s six The North agendas allow you to build decks for the Night’s Watch , the Wildlings , or both. The North agendas are unlike normal agendas, and you can play as many of them as you wish, though each The North agenda attached to your house increases the number of power you need to win the game by two.

Southron affairs

Every Chapter Pack in A Game of Thrones: The Card Game further steeps the Seven Kingdoms in battles and intrigues, and the Chapter Packs of Defenders of the North prove no exception. In addition to new Night’s Watch and Wildling cards, you’ll find plenty of support for each of six Great Houses. House Martell, especially, benefits from several cards that build its House Dayne strategies while House Targaryen burns their opposition with unique Dragons and hatchlings. Hatchling dragons may be small, but only a fool ignores their threat, lest he become their feast.
