But with each roll of the wildling die, there comes the risk that they will move south along the forest trails, closing in on the section of the Wall that you are tasked to defend. Similar to the wildlings that drive them, mammoths begin the game in the distant Frostfangs.

When these thunderous brutes charge the Wall, the very ground shakes and even the most stalwart warriors flee in fear of their lives. Not only does this extension introduce two new wildling clans for you to contend with, but they are stronger than ever with the addition of mammoths to their ranks. Once you're Lord Commander, no one need ever know about your more questionable alliances.īut you will find that not all wildlings are as helpful as Osha. Using this ability even once can give you the final piece you need to earn your victory. If you can convince Osha to act as an informant on the freefolk, you can slip past the wildlings and gain resources from occupied spaces. Otherwise, you may find that you need to reach beyond the constricts of the Order and contract the help of the very wildlings you have tried to defeat. One of the new members of the Watch, the honorable Jon Snow, uses his connection to the wildlings to protect you from the robber Tormund Giantsbane, either allowing you to keep your resources when a “7” is rolled or even helping you gain more resources with his intimate knowledge of the North.

The A Game of Thrones CATAN: Brotherhood of the Watch 5-6 Player Extension provides you with four new hero cards to bring even more iconic characters to the hero display. If you wish to convince your brothers that you are the worthiest, you will need to call upon new allies and their unique skills. With new rivals and more opportunities for alliances, intrigues, and betrayals, it's more difficult than ever for you to stand out and earn the respect of Old Bear Mormont. During this phase, all other players may choose to build or buy anything that they can afford with their resources - and making the most of these new opportunities can set you apart from the others. As two more brothers join the competition, you have been permitted to develop a larger area of the Gift, with new tiles and trade routes to accommodate either a five- or six-player game.Īdditionally, each brother now has more chances to build and show their worth with the introduction of a special build phase after each player's turn. As before, you'll do this by building roads, settlements, and keeps purchasing development cards and recruiting loyal guards to defend the Wall on your behalf. In the A Game of Thrones CATAN: Brotherhood of the Watch 5-6 Player Extension, you and up to five rivals have the chance to step into the role of brothers of the Night’s Watch, locked in fierce competition to become the next Lord Commander. As the Watch has become forgotten by the lords and ladies of Westeros, the infrastructure of the Gift has fallen into disrepair and the Lord Commander, Jeor Mormont, is willing to give anything to one who can restore the Gift to its former glory, even naming them as his successor. This fertile land provides the Watch with lumber, brick, wool, grain, and ore. The northern region known as the Gift was bestowed on the Night’s Watch thousands of years ago.
