In 1998, Pokémon fans in the U.S. got their first taste of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game continues to get better and better.

In AGoT:tCG, players take control of one of four major houses of Westeros, and they zealously compete for power (the first player that earns 15 "power tokens" is declared the winner). Each house's deck has different strengths and weakness based on the themes, characters, and locations of George R.R. Martin's epic series.

How does the game center work?
The game
center is available for open gaming from 10am until 5pm (or when our evening events start). The game center is closed to open play during our scheduled events. You can use the game center to
play hobby games, at no charge. Occasionally, there are special events that
require an entry fee, but the money is usually used as prize support for the event. The
game center is intended as a community center, as opposed to a profit center
for the store. By supporting the community, our community supports us back by
buying our games and snacks.
Where can I find out about center events?
You can view
the calendar online here. We also post events
on several bulletin boards in the store, including a friend finder bulletin board where
you can post requests for fellow gamers. You are strongly encouraged to create
your own events for in-store play. If you don't see one you're interested in,
consider proposing one to a staff member. Most of our events are created this way.
Our only requirement is that your event be open to everyone and be related to products we sell.
