Losing the Battle to Win the War
The reprinted Princes of the Sun for A Game of Thrones is now on sale
“…His death lit a fire that soon swept across Dorne, undoing all the Young Dragon’s victories in a fortnight. The kneeling men stood up, and we had been free once more.”
- A Storm of Swords, George R. R. Martin

The serpent in the sand
With a full play set for Home Martell, players can use Princes of the Sun to immediately start competitive Residence Martell deck-creating. Home Martell is the ruling residence of the sun-scorched kingdom of Dorne and has been for the past thousand years. Their words “Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken” represent the home’s defiant nature and refusal to concede control of their empire.
Included inside the set are Home Martell only cards that exhibit the House’s lust for vengeance, specially against offenses they take into account unforgivable. Red Vengeance also demonstrates House Martell’s properly-recognized counterintuitive strategy of “winning through losing.” After losing a challenge, Red Vengeance makes it possible for the Martell defender to manipulate the claim effect. By kneeling influence, you can force an opponent, including your attacker, to satisfy the claim as if he had lost the challenge as the defender…in essence forcing him to attack himself.
A card such as Dorne, House Martell’s homeland, makes it possible for you to lessen the gold cost for you to marshall cards with a certain Trait by 1. This Location is particularly valuable if you have built a deck that includes a lot of cards with the same Trait every card’s expense is decreased as opposed to Location cards that only allow you to decrease the subsequent card you marshall or a distinct one.
Princes of the Sun features infamous Martell characters such as Doran Martell, Arianne Martell, Ser Arys Oakheart, Darkstar, and the Red Viper, as effectively as cards for the other Houses. Also included are the guidelines for a “Civil War” game variant that lets players compete for the limited resources of a single deck.
Prepare to excel in treachery when you pick up a copy of Princes of the Sun at your nearby retailer these days!
