About the game
Game description from the publisher: "King's Landing. It is the heart of the Seven Kingdoms and the home of the Iron Throne. It is a city of lies, a city of treachery, a city of deceit. The shadows of King's Landing hide secrets that influence and dictate the future of Westeros. Those shadows have come to the A Game of Thrones Living Card Game." City of Secrets is the first monthly installment of sixty fixed cards for the "King's Landing" expansion to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire saga. It contains three copies each of twenty different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the A Games of Thrones metagame. "King's Landing" cycle: - City of Secrets - A Time of Trials - The Tower of the Hand - Tales from the Red Keep - Secrets and Spies - The Battle of Blackwater Bay
