When Does Your House Card Deck Refresh

By justabloke, in A Game of Thrones: The Board Game

Quick question.

During a round you play House Cards during combat and they go to your discard pile. Do you pick up all your house cards at the end for the round and start the next round with a full hand or does your discard pile persist between rounds (i.e. you only get your discards back when you play your last card, it becomes your new discard pile and you pick up the other 6)?

Thanks

You have it right with you second description. If your opponent (Baratheon) played Patchface, that person then gets to pick one of the six cards you picked up to discard as well.

@mungkei:

i think he means something else.

You get all your housecards, the 6 discarded and the one you play as your last card.

You will have all 7 cards after the combat.

Rulebook, Page 19:

After a combat is resolved, the two played House cards are placed
face-up in their respective player’s discard pile. While a House card is
in a player’s discard pile, it is not available for use in combat.

At the end of a combat, if a player used his last (i.e., seventh)
House card, he then returns the other six House cards currently
in his discard pile to his hand. The last played card remains in the
discard pile.
