Game of Thrones: Westeros Intrigue

Players take turns playing character cards into a communal court, building rows of influence under simple placement rules. Cards form a pyramid: the first row is laid left to right, and new cards placed above must match the House of one of the two cards beneath them. Rounds proceed until no player can legally play a card; the player who plays the last card wins the round and draws an Iron Throne card to cancel penalty points. Other players score penalty points for cards remaining in hand. The game plays a number of rounds equal to the number of players, and the overall winner is the player with the fewest penalty points at the end.
