How do you even build decks?

I usually get a contractor to do it. Other than that, lumber, nails, probably something to cut a way from your door to it…

Seriously though- what do you mean? You choose a goal, you throw some cards into a pile, shuffle them, and play. Then after a game, you look at the deck, fix a few parts that weren't helpful, and play again. Repeat until you have something good.

First there is an idea. Then I browse to cardgamedb.com. After selecting about 40 to 50 cards I decide the idea was crap. I repeat this for about 50 to 80 times. And then I usally think "ok, it's still bad, but I need a deck to play, so I've to give it a try!".

I mean how many cards can it consist of and what are the limitations, like can I put Eddard Stark in a Lannister deck? Or is there a limit to the amount of territories I can have, and events and so on…

I have a question regarding this not related to actually NOT reading the book

In the book it says MINIMUM 60 cards

Does that INCLUDE plot cards or are those seven always considered seperate

You actually have two separate decks. A draw deck and a plot deck. So the minimum of 60 is for your Draw deck and therefore does not include the plot cards.

Thank you

Wasnt sure about that plot deck thing. I assume the house card is just a place to put tokens and also does not count in the total for the deck?

Correct.

What you have is:

- Exactly one house card

- Possibly an Agenda

- A plot deck of exactly 7 cards

- A draw deck of at least 60 cards
