Game of Thrones 2nd Edition

Last Saturday I got in a game of Fantasy Flight's Game of Thrones 2nd Edition.  In this game you assume one of the Great Houses and vie for control of the Iron Throne.  The object of the game is to conquer/control the most castles/strongholds by games end.  As it is a Fantasy Flight game, there's a reasonable number of high quality bits. Overall the game is pretty simple as there is only one way to win and only one way to do it: conquest.  As no one had played before, it took us about 3 hours to play; I expect future plays will be notably quicker.

Still sitting on my paint table is my NK Egyptians that I'm slowly grinding away at.  I'm having a wee bit of trouble getting myself motivated lately. It'll be a while before I post any up.
