Attributes of a Location card consist of a gold cost (generally represented by a number overlaid on a gold coin in the upper left corner), a name across the top that may be preceded by a black flag if the location is unique, a House affiliation (represented by one or more House shields in the upper right corner, although neutral locations will have no shield), artwork depicting the location in the top half of the card, and a text box in the lower half of the card.Traits are bold and italicized words at the top of the textbox, and usually represent specific types of events such as Small Council. In the A Game of Thrones LCG, players construct their own decks and vie for the Iron Throne in a world of even more deception, intrigue, and infamy. Cards with House affiliations other than the chosen House card may be used, providing the card itself has no restriction, but require an extra expenditure of resources to bring them into play. A player must earn 15 power tokens between their House card and characters in play to win A Game of Thrones. At the beginning of each player's turn in the Marshalling phase, the player counts all income from plot card and any other resources available.

The Core Set consists of 4 preconstructed decks consisting of Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, and Targaryen, and is marketed as a starting point for a new player.Intrigue - if the defending player loses, he must randomly discard a number of cards from hand equal to the claim value on the attacker's plot. During play the draw deck cards will often end up in other game play areas including the discard pile (cards discarded from play) and the dead pile (cards that were killed or are marked with the Deathbound keyword).

Within the textbox may be traits, keywords, but primarily will be one or more game effects, and flavour text from the novels. Kill effects only work on characters, including other cards that are currently functioning as characters, but other cards can be placed in the dead pile through various game effects, such as the Deathbound keyword. In the Classic format, players bring their own decks, which may include cards from any set, as long as the card is not on the banned list. Not only does the plot draft allow players to craft their own strategies from the available schemes and intrigues, but it guarantees that no player can ever be certain of what plot his opponent may choose to reveal. Our cards are perfect for your next seafaring voyage or trek to the Wall, and they come in a tidy tuckbox to protect them from the elements.

Unlike the shuffled and randomly drawn resource deck, at the beginning of each round, each player chooses a new plot card to be revealed, which will have an effect on the round to be played, allowing for a strategic element to an otherwise random game.
