It's a pretty heafty game. And has a tendency to be slow, especially if people have analysis paralysis. That said, one of my greatest wins of all time (in any game) came from a masterful turn around while playing 1st ed. w/ the Clash of Kings expansion. It consisted of me walking into a losing battle, copying a card that let you spend power to add strength to a battle, and the slowly dropping power tokens on the board one by one as I watched all hope drain from my friend's eyes. I'm an asshole
