A Foreword from the
Designers
We are thrilled to present you with this 9-player
A FEAST FOR CROWS expansion for Christian
Petersen’s excellent A GAME OF THRONES
board game.
We obviously love A GAME OF THRONES, or
we wouldn’t have spent the inordinate amount of
time we did to create this. You clearly love it as
well - you spent the time to download it - so we
hope this will only make you love the game even
more.
The game was created by four of us over several
sleepless weeks late in October 2005.
We took all the graphics from the game itself,
and then from Amok’s wonderful artwork
(http://www.amoka.net). We trust we will not be
begrudged that.
Now prepare your hearts to head back to Westeros,
In the company of Arryns, Tullys and Targaryens.
And, oh, we’ve added in the dragons. Enjoy!
Until next time - Hear us roar,
Mark Stark

Creating the Game
To play A FEAST FOR CROWS, you will need two copies of the
original A GAME OF THRONES, as well as one copy of the
A CLASH OF KINGS expansion. (That should make Fantasy Flight
happy!) One copy of AGOT will stay exactly as it is. The other will
most certainly not.
Take 2 knights, 1 footman, and 1 ship from each house in the second
copy and add them to the original units in the first copy. Set aside one
green ship, one black ship, and one white ship to create the three
Targaryen dragons. Then divide and paint the remaining units to
create 24 units each for House Tully (blue) andHouse Arryn (sky
blue), and 23 for House Targaryen (violet). (Targaryen recieves one
less knight, but also three dragons for a final total of 26 units.)
Take away one siege engine from each of the six colors, and paint
two for each of the three new houses.
Remove 4 power tokens from each house in the second copy, and
add them to the original amount. Then divide and paint the remaining
tokens to create 24 for each of the three new houses.
Color 3 sets of “areas of influence” markers, 3 supply markers, and
the backs of 3 sets of orders from the second copy to make order
tokens for the new houses. (Note: You will also need to paint 4
wooden units orange to add to House Martell, as well as coloring
4 Additional power tokens for them)
So you should end up with:
- 12 footmen, 7 ships, and 2 siege engines for each of nine houses
- 4 knights and 3 dragons (formerly ships) for House Targaryen
- 5 knights for the each of the other eight houses
- 24 power tokens for each house
- The standard 15 order tokens for each house
The following are included in A FEAST FOR CROWS, and need to be
printed out to play:
- New house, start, Westeros & tactic cards on 14 double-sided sheets
(these are formatted to fit cards from http://www.protoparts.com)
- The new 44” x 33” map (this will fit exactly onto the back of your
two AGOT maps, or print it on some rollable, durable material)
- 15 new square special order tokens
- 1 Tactics Chart
- These rules (1 folded-in-half glossy double-sided 22” x 11” sheet)
- Bonus: 9 player mats (print onto 8.5” x 11” tan cardstock)
- Bonus: AFFC cover to paste over your second AGOT box.
You should discover that from your 3 boxes, the following items
are no longer needed to play any version of the game:
- 2 footmen units
- 4 power tokens
- 2 sets of orders
- 2 supply markers
- 6 “areas of influence” markers
- 1 each of the large Blade, Raven, and Throne tokens
- 1 each of the three neutral house tokens
- 1 turn marker
- 1 Wildling Attack marker
This game uses only the alternate house cards from the ACOK
expansion. Note also that the port tokens are no longer needed,
as ports are printed directly on the new map. The standard 9
fortifications are available in the course of the game.
Okay, now breathe. Trust us, you spent less time doing all that
than we did. Now it’s on to the regular kind of fun...
(Note: We designed this variant to use all the optional rules
from the A CLASH OF KINGS expansion. Except that we
dislike options 7 & 8 , and never play with them. But that is
no reason they cannot be used in the course of a 9-player game
if you so desire.)
