Games of Thrones Season One
Rules: The vicious version of
Camelot. Queens can pair with Jacks or Kings. When an Ace is faced, it assassinates any visible face card, which is immediately removed from the game. It must assassinate if possible - if the assassin has the only royal, he must kill it. If no royals are showing, the Ace has no effect. You may flip a down Ace at any time to kill a royal.
Analysis: Charley didn't love the way this came out, and revised it the following month to what I call
Game of Thrones Season Two. But I liked the original enough to keep it.

Game of Thrones Season Two: When a face card is dealt up, that suit's face cards become wild a la
Follow the Queens. When an Ace is dealt up, it
must immediately kill a face card. (Your own, if that is the only one showing.) You may reveal a down Ace to kill a royal any time before the last betting round. Killing a royal does
not change which suit is currently wild, however.
