OT: Anybody try playing the board game?

I came across the board game years ago but really never thought of playing it. Then I came across this site where you can play the game online.

Looks to function good enough. So anybody have experience playing it or even using vassal? Will probably read up on the rules but would want opinions to make sure it's not a waste of time.

I actually own the 2nd edition board game, and it plays pretty well. Diplomacy is surprisingly fun, battles are interesting, the Westeros and House cards are pretty sweet, and all in all I enjoy it. We do random draws for factions, and thusfar I've played as every faction bar the Tyrells. Martells and Baratheons are my personal favourites, but each faction has their own "style." Also, OMG at Gregor Gleganes card. I've wiped so many armies with that card.
