Within the textbox may be traits, keywords, other game effects or icons, and flavour text from the novels.At the start of each round, each player simultaneously chooses and reveals one of the plot cards from their individual seven-card plot decks. Game of Thrones: The Card Game lets two players choose their House and experience their own battles between House Stark and House Lannister. 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. Many Martell effects are themed around losing challenges, leading to such effects being referred to as "revenge" effects. Gold dragons were redeemable to FFG for older promotional cards, booster packs, and other specialized AGoT products, such as card binders, stone house cards, and house-specific power tokens.

Many locations are used to supply additional income, influence, but a wide variety of effects are present. Attributes of a Location card consist of a gold cost (generally represented by a number overlaid on a gold coin in the upper left corner), a name across the top that may be preceded by a black flag if the location is unique, a House affiliation (represented by one or more House shields in the upper right corner, although neutral locations will have no shield), artwork depicting the location in the top half of the card, and a text box in the lower half of the card.

Once all cards are revealed, players draw cards again until they each have 7 cards in their hand again.Generally, whenever an effect targets a card to be killed or discarded, players are given a chance to Save the card from the effect, either by discarding a duplicate of the targeted card or by using another game effect. Also, in a multiplayer game, he can either use all his challenges on one opponent or divide them among his adversaries. Cards with House affiliations other than the chosen House card may be used, providing the card itself has no restriction, but require an extra expenditure of resources to bring them into play.

Another timing word that may precede a triggered effect is a bold Response, which indicates that the effect may only be used in response to another occurrence in the game.
