An age of wonder and terror will soon be upon us, an age for gods and heroes.” - George R. “The grey sheep have closed their eyes, but the mastiff sees the truth.
It’s a brutal game with a heavy mix of warfare, diplomatic alliances, and inevitable betrayal.
Players will be making alliances but they’ll also be leaving their allies in the field undefended a few turns later because it’s no longer profitable to be allied. You’ll find all of your fan favorites in the game: Lannisters, Starks, Greyjoys, Terrells, Baratheons… they’re all here.Ī Game of Thrones: The Board Game captures the essence of the books and HBO show beautifully. It’s happened to me before and will most likely happen again.Įach player controls one of the great houses and will be fighting for domination of the Iron Throne. You could spend the first half of a round convincing a player to march with you against your enemies only to find your stronghold besieged by your “allies”. In the following phases of the game, the orders will be carried out. Throughout the course of the game, players will be making political decisions and issuing orders in secret. Alliances come and go and usually at the worst possible moment for those involved. Any fan of the series will know that the war in Westeros is clearly heavily diplomatic, and usually violent and bloody. The official A Game of Thrones: The Board Game is inspired by an older game called Diplomacy. “War makes monsters of us all.” - George R.
