PLAYED FOR YOU

Die Schlachten von Westeros

Clankrieger der Berge

Based on „The Song of Ice and Fire“ and the game mechanisms of BattleLore you simulate military conflicts on Westeros, representing either House Stark or House Lannister in the core game  set. A scenario features special victory conditions and is played in rounds. Those rounds comprise the phases reactivating, organizing, command – which includes placing command markers and playing a command card -and regrouping. Regrouping includes checking of status, allocating victory points, check victory condition, discard resources, boost morale and move round marker. Additional packs reinforce houses or introduce new houses.

Clankrieger der Berge / Tribes of the Vale is the fourth of those enforcement sets with additional troops and commanders. The various clansmen in this expansion are not considered to be houses as regards to topic and theme, but as regards to game mechanics they are treated like a single House. New landscape features are crags and lakes – the lakes did come into play first in the Lords of the River expansion. New rules for the components are includes as well as new three battle scenarios - 20. Futter für die Ziegen, 21. Haltet den Fluss, 22. Auf zum blutigen Tor - and a new skirmish. The initiative cards called Clansmen Gambit Cards can be optionally used instead of the momentum token used in the Battle of Westeros Core set. Both players must agree at the start of the game to use those cards.

As all other reinforcements the Tribes of the Vale box is an indispensable addition to the core set, this expansion intensifies and reinforces events on Westeros and expands the tales of the Houses.
