In addition to expanding their staff, CMON Limited has announced a new game series based on novels by George R. R. Martin. Which novels? Well, the press release doesn't say exactly, but the game series is titled A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game, and it bears this description:
Battles can range from large-scale wars with hundreds of miniatures to simple skirmishes between a few units without complicating the elegantly designed rules. The game features several unique systems, including alternating activations that keep the players engaged; a Rank System that changes a unit's capabilities as the battle rages on; a Tactics System that provides strategic powers fueled by a finite resource each round; and, most importantly, the iconic Heroes, such as Robb Stark and Jaime Lannister, that can change the course of war both on and off the battlefield.
CMON Limited plans to launch this series with the Stark vs Lannister Starter Set, which will hit Kickstarter in Q3 2017 ahead of a 2018 release date.
BoardGameGeek is at the 2017 GAMA Trade Show, and CMON Limited is scheduled to be on camera Wednesday, March 15 at 2:00 p.m. Las Vegas time (PDT, GMT -7) should you care to check out this title and others coming from the publisher.
