A World Reshaped by DragonsPlay A Dance with Dragons at Days of Ice and Fire 2012
There came a second crack, loud and sharp as thunder, and the smoke stirred and whirled around her and the pyre shifted, the logs exploding as the fire touched their secret hearts. She heard the screams of frightened horses, and the voices of the Dothraki raised in shouts of fear and terror, and Ser Jorah calling her name and cursing. No, she wanted to shout to him, no, my good knight, do not fear for me. The fire is mine. I am Daenerys Stormborn, daughter of dragons, bride of dragons, mother of dragons, don't you see? Don't you SEE?
–George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
In all the world, there are only three living dragons. Their return to the Eastern continent of Essos has given new strength to the power of magic and spurred new hopes, fears, and ambitions among the Great Houses of Westeros. Now the Great Houses take note as the Queen of Dragons musters her army, preparing for her eventual journey across The Narrow Sea to reclaim the Iron Throne. Still, in Westeros, the Western lords and knights continue to war against each other.
This May 18th – 20th, you have the chance to live the fantasy of George R.R. Martin’s beloved fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire! Join us at the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center in Roseville, MN for Days of Ice and Fire 2012, a three-day celebration of the intrigues, battles, and games of Westeros.
A modern classic
George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has become a modern fantasy classic. Filled with vibrant locations, rich characters, and sophisticated conflicts, the story has moved far from its origins in A Game of Thrones. Heroes have fallen, villains have been humbled, Houses have made alliances and broken them, and still the Houses battle for control of King’s Landing and the Iron Throne.
This year, Days of Ice and Fire attendees will share an exciting moment for another modern classic, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition! They’ll be the first to get their hands on the game’s new Print on Demand expansion, A Dance with Dragons. Introducing forty-two alternate House Cards for the six Houses found in the core game, A Dance with Dragons also outlines a dramatic new six-player scenario that sets your game of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition during the events of George R.R. Martin’s fifth novel.
The scenario updates your game to reflect the developments within A Song of Ice and Fire, and it thrusts players directly into a world of new conflicts, intrigues, and alliances, waiting to be forged and broken. Players will appreciate the exciting new strategies they’ll be forced to adopt as the Houses start in position for immediate conflicts. And each House plays to unique strengths with asymmetrical and flavorful tactics.
More than games
Days of Ice and Fire 2012 offers attendees more than games of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, and Battles of Westeros.
