About the game
For the ironborn, the slap of ocean waves against the sturdy hull of a longship is the sound of home. The Greyjoys of Pyke and the other families of the Iron Isles have pillaged and raided for hundreds of years, taking what they want from the weaker men of the green lands. And although every captain is a king on the deck of his own ship, the massed power of the Iron Fleet is commanded by just one man. With the Kings of the Isles deluxe expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, you can be the one who takes command of the Iron Fleet and leads your devastating armada into battle. Today, we’ll take a closer look at how you increase your fleet of warships with the Greyjoy deluxe expansion! - description by the publisher
