Hello Gamers
Welcome to another Jogando Offline.
I am Pena Lannister.
I am Sergião Stark.
And today we'll review
"A Game of Thrones"
Youtube does not let us...
- Put the sound track, right? - The serie's song.
Then we sing here.
You'll have to endure.
The game "A Game of Thrones: the Board Game"
is a 2011 game.
Released by Fantasy Flight.
Fantastic.
- He is basically the books theme... - The series.
Serie / books.
"Chronicles of ice and fire".
And the story begins in Roberto...
Robert Baratheon's death.
Exactly! Then all the other houses are fighting...
for the Iron Throne.
For the Power.
The game,for me, has the best
Developed theme.
They really catch the mood of the...
- From the series. - Intrigue, betrayals...
Battles...
- Strategy War. - It's fantastic man!
He is very good indeed.
I love it.
The first edition of this game had
several glitches rules and such...
The House Lannister maybe...
It was the weakest, was in the worst place on the map...
- With few resources... - Was beaten by every one.
Then they improved these things in the expansions.
So, they began to launch the expansions...
Improved the part of the sea...
From ship battles.
The guy could not get out and they created the port
And then finally they gathered all these things.
Joined everything, cleaned the rules.
And launched an edition.
- What was... - It was perfect...
Very good, very good.
- Let's talk about the game sheet. - Yes
It's a game for 3 to 6 players.
Takes about 3 hours...
- Or more - Or more. About 5...
But I'm sure you'll like
to have invested these 5 hours of your life.
Is very good.
Mechanics of the game is: Area Control.
And auction, in the power strugle. When auctions the power.
Auction. Yes Has Auction, very good this part.
Replayability.
Very cool too.
- Very high. - Because
It's a game with tons of strategy.
It depends on each player
Every opponent's move, every move you make
can change the whole scenario.
Then each move really...
Each game is a new game.
And I think the alliances is what counts most.
You can make and is recommended
alliances in this game.
The same way they are created,
they are destroyed.
The game mechanics allows
you to break an alliance anytime.
Not only allow but that is sorely needed.
Is needed...
I've never seen a game end that was not...
Don't have a betrayal.
Whenever someone goes there and break, attacking from behind.
This is why you never trust a Lannister...
But the Lannister always pays his debts...
And the Stark is only there in winter...
And by the way I'm not going back
to Kings Landing.
- F*&% heat in the south. - Neither I! It's too hot.
Production! Low light...
Its complexity is high.
Very high
Many rules.
Each miniature...
Each piece has a different thing.
- His specialty. - A specialty.
Minutiae rules type exceptions...
The port attacks the land, but do not attack sea
The different phases of the game.
- Every action. - Phase Westeros.
The planning phase...
I don't know what...Dude!
But you don't need
to know all that to play.
If you have an experienced player at the table.
- Helps a lot. - Yeah! But if everyone knows the rules well
the game is perhaps its top.
More cool.
- Luck? - Luck almost ba .. not? Almost...
- Almost none. - No.
Because don't have dice roling, there's nothing.
The battles are decided there
in the numbers.
Exactly. It's your strength against the opponent's strength
No discussion.
You choose cards and has a nice strategy
about what card you choose.
You have to read your opponent, very good.
Yes, but it's not luck, it's reading.
Reading. So the only
The only random factor is the Event cards
that apply to everyone.
And art, talking about game's art, Fantasy Flight...
Top pattern.
Very Good.
Quality of cards, tiles from the board...
Its terrific!
The only criticism that I do...
in a matter of fact...
the criticism everyone does is about the miniatures.
Yes. Many people do not like...
They prefer riders...
Warriors miniatures, a thing more...
- Normal about the... - From RPG, so to speak.
Fantasy Flight games.
I really like this choice because
makes you feel as a medieval lord
doing your combat strategy, you have this kind of immersion.
I think this is a insinght that they had and a lot of people did not catch.
- Do not catch. - But I think is this, Pena.
My only criticism is, as I said, the boats.
Because has moments that you have to turn the miniature.
You took... You were attacked, you lost, you have to turn.
Only you turn the boat it is a pyramid
and it stays the same.
Then you have to put it stand
and 're like an obelisk in the middle of the sea.
Yes Kind of weird, they could have beveled
a little one side, making more like the hull of boat...
- But anyway... - It's true.
Before going to the Game Play,
I need to advise that we will not cover all the rules...
It is not our goal, would be impossible.
But our friends on the...
Redomanet made a Ludocast
LudocastBrasil special about Game of Trones.
They talk about all the rules, at least...
1 hour just about Game of Trones.
from what I noticed they talk about everything.
Worth the time for whom want to learn more about the game.
- Uhum. Then this is it. - So now...
Game play.
Traitor.
This is the world of Westeros.
And I will explain basically here
what these things means on the map.
First thing we have to see is the rounds space.
The game goes to 10 rounds.
When arrived at 10 who has more Castle wins.
Another way to end the game
here is on the Victory track.
Then each castle you have
earns you a point of victory, who arrive in 7 first wins.
The Stark, the rascal here,
is 4, is in front of me
Baratheon and we're only at 2.
We have the part of suply here...
that are the litle barrels to keep the army.
I will not explain it.
But basically is as follows...
The more barrels you have larger the size of your army.
And finally we have the Influence track
which is where the trickery...
the negotiations happen.
Here is where people fight for power.
We have the Throne track
Its to see who sits on the throne.
Now the Baratheon are sitting.
And they have this card.
That allows him to play first...
And decide all ties.
We have a Sword track
What is the military part, on this case the Starks...
are in possession of the sword.
So they have an extra bonus in combat.
And in case of military tie they win.
Finally we have the Crow track.
which is the part of the manipulation.
the messages...
And who is in front is me.
And I have the Crow power.
What means I can swap orders at certain times
Or peek in the Wildlings cards.
After I explain what this is.
Another important thing on this track
is that you can use more starlets
special orders.
I explain later on.
And then we have this part also
which is the part of wildlings they are coming here at
north through the wall.
their strength is measured by this track.
More higher, the more powerful their attack
When happen an event attack we reveal this card
and so everyone has to fight the wildlings.
That is how the world of Westros defends itself.
Let's start by the
Map movement part, that is where
our miniatures, our troops are placed.
What we have to do?
We have orders, pieces of orders we have ...
The first thing we do is choose
here and place certain orders
for each of our units,
For each place where we have unities.
- Let's do it all together? - Let's go...
Placing orders...
Now we already placed orders
and now we reveal them all
simultaneously.
Now is where the game heats up.
Let's just see, Mr. Pena.
Let's see what's happening here.
This is perhaps the most tense part of the game.
I knew! Look...
- Ooooh No!... - No, there I'm defending...
Now we solve orders
The orders have an order, Hã?
To solve, first solve
raid orders, ie orders of
pillage, that are they here.
So what makes this one?
cancels an adjacent order.
So I'm here, and Sergio...
Man I will not march to your world... Your place.
There where you will to?
- I'll march here. - Hehe. No.
What do I do? Cancel his order.
I'm not relying on these Stark no.
- We made a... - Aaaah... man...
Canceled his order. Has some more raid order?
- We have an order here. - Here.
I wanted, I put here to cancel
this order of Baratheon.
If they attack me.
Because we made a small alliance
I and Baratheon, but I'm not very trusting.
So what did I do? I put a raid
If she attacked me, I canceled.
It was not , was a support, then I'll leave.
I cancel my order of raid.
Now we'll solve the marching orders.
Who can march first here?
Let's see...
- Is the Baratheon. - The Baratheons.
The Baratheons has a marching order here.
What Baratheons do? Let's see...
- Look there... - Amm...
Marched to the little castle. And here they advance
1 little castle. Very well Baratheon.
This area is good for you.
Me First.
- I'll march. - You're in front of me.
I'll march here friend...
This territory...
In the last round Starks descended up here.
Using sea, very treacherous...
ended down here.
It was then that we decided to do alliance against them.
They put a defense Order
to protect themselves.
Of course I'm not stupid.
Then I have two marching orders here
march I'll go first with this unit...
To here.
And now I have an army of 3.
- Then it leaves the game - Puutz.
And now is the next player who has marching orders.
Who has marching orders?
You are very strong here I was going to attack.
But you pu a lot of defense...
I'm going to forget about this order here.
Ah! Look... I was with strong support here...
But you have support here too.
But is the ground support I cannot support sea
True.
Then I would be with a good defense...
And with the support here from sea to sea.
And with supports here, yet...
I have no conditions to do this.
Yeah... true.
As Baratheons not have marching orders.
So back to my turn.
I still have one more march +1 here.
That special march of starlet.
As I'm good at Crow's track
I can use up to 3 starlet orders.
And now...
We'll do the battle.
Invade with these 3 troops...
And I'm going to ask for support to my...
From my ally right here.
Until now ally, Baratheons.
So what Baratheons, Do you give me this support?
Yes. I give.
Aaaah.... thanks then.
Actually he is supporting
here with... more
1... More
Horse.
1 more horse here in this battle.
Yes I'm also prevent
and put 1 support in the sea there.
And the sea supports the land, that it is nice.
Land does not support sea, but the sea supports the land.
Damn I had not seen.
So now we sum combat forces.
Each boat is worth 1.
Each soldier is worth 1.
Each horse is worth 2...
And each assault tower attacking castle worth 4.
And look I put a assault tower here.
This beautiful here. I love it.
Assault Tower worth only in castle, right people?
No use to make a tower assault to catch swamp.
- So here is one little castle... - Defense.
Then she is paying 4, 5, 6
7, 8, 9, 10.
I'm attacking with 10 1 more in my troop. 11.
11. Sergio is defending himself with how much?
2...
4, 6, 7, 8.
11 against 8. I'm with + 3.
- You solved the fight? No. - No.
And now comes the...
Another interesting part of the game, the cards.
We have cards in hand...
Which represent characters in the series
that will be our generals.
We will choose one of them to join this battle.
Since we chose 1, it does not return.
All, just back after we loose them all.
All houses...
It has the same amount of power...
There's a card of 0, two 1, two 2, lalala...
Only the powers individually
are different, so I'll choose my general
here. Look... Gonna be this guy here.
Come on.
I put in front of me.
I've chosen mine. Mr. Pena Lannister.
Good chosen we discloses simultaneously.
Sir Gregor Clegane vs.
Eddard Stark.
I add 3. I already had plus 3...
Were 11 versus 8, plus 3.
And Sergio added 4.
Then it goes to the difference...
Gives plus 3 it's 6 minus 4 gives
The difference drops to 2.
I'll use my sword...
That gives me 1 more.
But unfortunately I think I can't...
Yeah I still got a difference of 1
thanks to this support here...
That assured me that 2 more.
- Wow, had not seen it here. - Baratheon you dog.
So I won...
But especially here gives me this power
3 damage.
Normally when you win a fight
you do not kill the opponent, he retreat.
So for example he could retret...
- Back to their land. - Aaah I should have placed another...
But as I'm using Sir Clegane...
I give 3 damage and kill 3 units. In case...
Aaaahh!!... well...
Conquered another castle.
up 1 more here
- In my Victory track. - And I descend 1.
And now everything is strained again.
Finally let's talk about the last action that lack
which is the act of power consolidating.
- Where... - First remove all other supports.
True. Clears the map...
Cleaned up the map, now let's talk about power consolidating.
The litle crowns, what do they do?
It give 1 power token.
1 power token for each crowns...
If you are doing this
in a land where it has a crown.
You win 2. So in this case I got here
2 power tokens.
I'll take here from the pool.
I'm already forearm
Also won four power tokens.
In addition we have a special crown action...
Is this here.
It works as a power consolidation
or if you can make a...
in other words, you can bring armies, create armies.
You put a rider.
I'll do the same thing here.
A special consolidation.
And I will put 2 more infantry.
Cool, we remove all orders...
that have been used...
Finally we... The round ends.
Starts a new round.
5 round and the round progresses.
Begin a new round
now yes, finally the Event's cards.
We opened the first is what?
Mustering, or we do armies.
You will put them on the lands that have castle...
Now open the second event...
- Oops, clash of kings - Puuutz....
We'll bet on 3...
Trails of influence.
- The thing heats up now. - Each one of us...
Collected tokens power over our...
Rounds, they serve for many things.
one of this is bet here in influence.
We put then behind our shield.
We have to speak for everyone how many we have.
I have 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
12 power token.
- I have 12 also. - I have 8.
Now we'll bet first on the Iron Throne track.
Then you put how many you want on your hand.
An amount you want.
And reveal simultaneously.
3!
5.
2.
Sergio stood in front of the Throne track.
then me, I'm with 3.
And finally the Baratheons.
Remember to throw away the tokens that bet.
Bet, threw away...
Whether won or lost.
Let's bet on the sword track. So...
And attention...
Reveal themselves...
- 3. - 2.
2 oops I got the sword.
It's tied.
True.
- And as I gained the throne... - It's true.
I solve the tie and obviously
I go forward.
And lastly now we will bet on Crow track...
And revealed...
3.
4.
- 5. - Aaaah.
And now we can reveal again.
Only got 1.
I got 3.
I got none...
Come to the last...
Wildlings atack. Haha...
The attack of savages!
We'll have to bet
these little things to defend
from the wildlings attack, we have to put...
to sum at least 4, among all of us.
to be able to defend...
If we cannot defend...
Everyone harm.
But who is the worst punter
suffer more damage.
See the situation, I have 3.
The Stark has 1.
And Baratheon none.
If we all bet everything we have
we can defend.
Only now is a matter of see what will happen.
We here closes hands...
And bet.
Reveal, 2.
1.
Why I put 2?
I'm not going to spend all my influence...
To defend, because...
the worst punter will be the Baratheons
because they have none...
Then he'll take the worst damage.
We will reveal what happens here.
The worst loser...
Move all your tokens...
- To the end of all tracks. - Haha.
So the Baratheon go to the end of all...
And now the other...
Each in turn chooses
the others who lost,
1 to move down.
Folks, this was one Game of Thrones round
as you see it is tense business, but full of fun.
That's all.
- I won it man! - Throne is mine.
- Give it guy. - Leave, leave...
- Sword neck, sword in the neck. - Get out... Get out I defend.
I defend with the throne. Iron Throne.
Well the game is...
Very nice, but maybe it has some problems.
- Yes, yes. - First one is that, to four players.
It is quite difficult, right?
In our experiences, don't know.
Mainly Lannister and Greyjoy
they are in a very difficult position.
- Only for 4 players. - The Baratheon has and open field to get free.
It has has this problem.
So we recommend a 3, 5 or 6.
- Worked more for our games group, right? - Yeah... Yes ..
Let's talk some game strategies
- What we think is cool. - Strategies which you enjoy Sergio?
So, don't know if it's a strategy
but something very important you keep an eye on
is the Crow track.
You have the stars who let you give special orders and such.
So it's an important thing
always try to climb the Crow track
because it makes a big difference in the game.
I think it might be the best track.
Because the Throne track is cool...
It has several advantages, but the crow, man
with the stars you do...
- Makes a difference. - Exactly.
I really enjoy the military part...
and like the Sword track.
Hardly anyone, when I play
Hardly anyone takes the sword so I get for a low value.
Because I'm more aggressive...
Miite... Militarily.
But we cannot forget
that when you do a military strategy you need barrel.
Yes many barrels.
People do not look at the barrels on the map.
Go adding Army and comes the time that...
you cannot add more.
- I always do that! - It has to keep an eye on it too...
One important thing, too is watch the seas.
Take command of the sea in this game...
- Make a difference, because... - Mainly Greyjoy man.
- Yeap. - Withou it you do nothing in the game.
Exactly the Greyjoy, the island right?
But anyway it is important why?
You can get someone with a lot of surprise...
If you have boats on the map
you can use them as bridges. As you have seen.
Go out on one side and arrives on the other.
You leave a side of the map and go to the other
the guy not expect this attack.
- In the last round the best way - Is F*&^% fantastic.
of win is going with a guy of one side of the map to another...
I love this part.
And maybe so...
The game has two distinct dynamics
- The Strategy... - Military.
- Military and power strategy. - Yes
If you play well in the power strategy...
It can become
a very good game for you, too.
- It has to be... - And how do you do it?
Taking consolidating power.
Yeap, need to keep an eye on power consolidating.
Always do this. It's very important too.
It already has an expansion...
- Its name... - Yes is the "Dance With Dragons".
"Dance With Dragons"...
- We didn't play, we have no idea... - I don't know how it is...
- I'm very curious to know. - The name is pretty cool
If you have, send it to us! We really want to play.
You want to help our work there, send it to us.
- We will also reviewing right? - Absolutely.
Fast game, pros and cons.
What is the pro Sergio?
F&* is a game...
Very strategic and this is really cool.
Because the game is yours!
Your decision is important
the way you see it is very important also
this is very cool.
- Theme very well developed. - The issue involved...
It's like, the tense atmosphere of betrayals...
There comes a time in the game you will get tense.
- Man! No escape. - Is everyone on your side...
- Alliances beginning to break. - You're standing on the map...
So man is a game that makes you tense
like the book, the story proposes
And needless to say anything about the game. It's so f*@.
This game is very good.
On the side of the cons.
Well, it's a complex game, is not everyone profile.
Protracted...
You have to book the afternoon
and some people do mind about treason.
We've had several games that you go there...
attacks by the guy's back there and in the end
the guy fight with you
your friend... Your girlfriend...
It is common you lose...
- Your game partner. - Yeah.
- Scores. - Let's go...
- I'll bet here. - Let's see who...
- Your Lannister ***. - I'm betting on...
Here on hand.
Me too.
Reveals
- 5 dice. - 6 dice.
- Won. - I won.
this game is perfect, man! Deserves a 6.
He is top for me...
It is not yet 6.
It is not your game yet.
It's not my game, but I love this game.
