The Hand of the King was the second-most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms. He spoke with the king’s voice, commanded the king’s armies, drafted the king’s laws. Robert was offering him a responsibility as large as the realm itself. It was the last thing in the world he wanted.

The Tower of the Hand is the third Chapter Pack in the King's Landing series, coming this Summer for the A Game of Thrones LCG. This expansion further fleshes out the Shadows mechanic, introducing an effect that allows cards to return to the Shadows area from play, and it also focuses on the integral characters who have held the dangerous Hand of the King post, such as Tywin Lannister and Eddard Stark.

The Tower of the Hand also introduces the legendary Jon Arryn to the A Game of Thrones card game for the first time.

Jon Arryn by Allan Douglas

Jon Arryn, Lord Paramount of the Vale, fostered young Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon and stood by them during Robert's Rebellion, later to be appointed as King Robert's Hand.

This long-awaited, renowned Arryn Lord brings with him a powerful "put into play" effect that should have all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms clamoring for his death...

With the Hand at your side, can you hold on to the Iron Throne?
