A Song of Ice & Fire Tabletop Miniatures Game Bolton Starter Set - Strategy Game for Ages 14+

A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game is a competitive miniatures game for two or more players, where each player controls one of the Great Houses of Westeros, commanding battlefield units, recruiting legendary Heroes, and manipulating the political stage, in the attempt to claim the greatest prize of all: The Iron Throne. The game offers incredibly deep miniature wargame gameplay while virtually removing the barrier to entry, as each figure comes fully assembled, pre-colored to its house, and ready to play, while streamlined rules make combat quick and easy to learn.

The game combines the brutal battlefield conflicts with the political scheming from the beloved book series. Players can build their army by fielding the perfect combination of infantry, cavalry and unique units, such as Dire Wolves and Giants, and assist their forces on the tactics board using the skills of unscrupulous courtiers and diplomats. Finally, players can secure their victory by selecting a capable Commander and employing their unique tactics as the battle plays out.

One of the factions in the game is House Bolton, which rules from Dreadfort, their ancient edifice in the north. Descendants of the First Men, they are known for their sigil of a flayed man, a practice that they often partake in. Aggressive to the core, they fought in a rebellion against House Stark many years ago and have been likened to rabid dogs, lashing out against anyone that gets too close, even their own. Troops in House Bolton often fear their own commanders more than the enemy, as Roose and Ramsay Bolton rule with iron, spiked fists. Their reputation for brutality and cruelty causes many foes to simply quit the battlefield, as it is better to run away and survive than be captured.

The Bolton Starter Set brings back some familiar faces such as Roose Bolton and Ramsay Snow, along with new ones like Walda Frey and Jeyne Poole. Alongside their units of Bolton Cutthroats, Bolton Blackguards and Dreadfort Archers, they're ready to face their opponents head on.

This miniatures war game for teens and adults can be played with 2 or more players and is suitable for ages 14 and older. The game takes about 45 to 60 minutes to play.
