 I created this repo while going through the process of trying to produce this to be played as part of a Stag Do for which I was Best Man, and thought it may be helpful to others.
 
+The manufacturers of the base board game shared a 23 minute [tutorial on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0XRVTacNxI&ab_channel=FantasyFlightGames), which is significantly easier to use to learn the game than the written rules.
+
 I have never read nor seen Game of Thrones, so I apologize if any of the models I have created are inaccurate or not in line with the source material. Please feel free to submit Pull Requests with any corrections or improvements.
+
+Here is the original creator's description:
+
+> Worked on it back in 2015 (the beginning of the end, really) when I was at University and the popularity for the game got out of hand.
+>
+> With the helps of some really talented and helpful students we were able to create an attractive and balanced edition to the game.
+>
+> I have added the following houses:
+>
+> - Night's Watch (they now take part in Realmly affairs)
+> - Stark (as at start of show, cause I like Ned)
+> - Greyjoy
+> - Lannister
+> - Baratheon
+> - Tyrell
+> - Martell
+> - House of Black and White
+> - Blackfyre
+> - Targaryen
+> - Dothraki
+> - Qarth
+>
+> All play very much to the tune of the characters involved, while still retaining some balance (Dothraki start on an island for balance).
+>
+> P.S sorry Littlefinger fans, couldn't find a house to put him in.

+## Tips
+
+Here are some tips from the [original creator](https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/dp5oqq/not_sure_if_the_game_of_thrones_board_game_is/).
+
+> Don't start a game unless about 2/3 have played.
+>
+> Hard rule: 1 minute planning phases for the first 5 rounds. 3 minute planning phases for last 5.
+>
+> One player is banker. One player reads cards etc.
+>
+> Just trust people to resolve the cards at the start of the round.
+>
+> Keeps the game around 90 minutes-2 hours.
