Dear Thronemaster Community,

I came up with an idea of rule variant that would allow initial bidding phase to pick houses. I am new here, so please let me know if this idea had already been discussed.

I guess players would start with some more power tokens than normal, lets say with 7. Bidding would be simmilar to the clash of kings. Position on "bidding track" would determine the order of house picking. Ties would be resolved randomly.

If you dont like to play specific House you bid hard and even if you cannot be sure to win first pick, you can safely avoid playing low tier houses or the ones you simply dont prefer. If you are happy to play any house than you do not bid at all and begin with potential advantage in power tokens.

I think this would bring very interesting part to the game - another fun, strategic phase. Also it would bring some balance. (I would guess Tyrell and Lanni would more often start with more power tokens than others in 6 standard 6 player games)

Please let me know your oppinion. I have no idea of how hard it would be to implement, but might be worth a try?  

Best regards,
Gombro
