A Game of Thrones: The Card Game Second Edition (or AGoT, for short) is a Living Card Game (LCG) produced by Fantasy Flight Games from 2015 to 2020. It is based on A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of novels written by George R. R. Martin. The second edition of this LCG, it is not backwards compatible with the first edition that preceded it.
It was launched in 2015. In 2019 FFG announced they will slow down releases for the game, due to "exhausting available content from [the] books". 2020 saw the release of the de facto final expansion in the series (described at that time as "the beginning of a new release model"). Since then unofficial expansions have been released by a volunteer organization called G.O.T. (Global Operation Team).
In the game, players assume the leadership of one of the great houses of Westeros vying for control of King's Landing and the Iron Throne. To accomplish this, players launch military attacks against their opponents, undermine their opponents’ plans with intrigues of their own, and make power plays to win the support of the realm.
