To start playing, first build your army. Decide on the number of points you'll use and choose powerful Combat Units like Stark Sworn Swords or Lannister Guards. You can also add Attachments, which range from common ones to legendary figures, and Non - Combat Units like Tyrion Lannister or Catelyn Stark. After army building, pick one of the five Game Modes. Each mode has different strategic objectives, such as controlling battlefield objectives or outlasting your opponent. During the game, take alternating turns to activate your units. You can command your units to attack or use Non - Combat Units' skills on the Tactics Board. Remember, each House has its own Tactics Deck, and your choice of Army Commander will add more cards to it. When storing the game, keep the miniatures in a safe place to avoid damage. Make sure to handle the cards gently to prevent wear and tear. If you have any questions about purchasing or playing the game, contact The Game Steward.
