About the Game

Description from the publisher:

This exciting expansion features the never-before-seen character cards Stallwart Shield and Orell the Eagle. What's more, a new version of Jon Snow fits equally well into either a Wildling or a Night's Watch deck, and when wielding his sword Long Claw, he's even more formidable!

A Sword in the Darkness is the third installment in the "Defenders of the North" expansion to the A Game of Thrones living card game, based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire saga. This 40-card pack features 20 different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the A Game of Thrones metagame.

Note: The 2011 edition of A Sword in the Darkness has been updated to the sixty-card format (three copies each of twenty unique cards). The included cards are updated with rules text based on the most recent FAQ and Errata.
