Game of Thrones

[Shizzle]

Has anyone been playing the board game yet? I can very much recommend it. Any thoughts?

Seems a little unbalanced, at least for us novice players though, in favour of the Iron Islands. So far I have only played three full games, and Pyke has taken the win every time. Lannister seems to be in a tough spot from early on. The Starks are pretty solid, defense-wise, but unless they risk everything in an amphibious assault they are locked in up north. Baratheon usually gets a lead early on, but gains the attention of Martell/Lannister/Tyrell because of this and gets stunted in it's growth.

So far, I have almost won once with Tyrell - only one combat strength in battle short for the ultimate castle in the final turn. Can't wait to play Pyke some time!
