A Game Of Thrones, The Board Game

A Game Of Thrones The Board Game

Winter is coming! There is nothing quite like family battles over board games during the festive season!
Now you can really start family battles with Game Of Thrones, The Board Game!

“There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. [...] Winter and summer. Evil and good. ' She took a step toward him. 'Death and life. Everywhere, opposites. Everywhere, the war. ' - Melisandre.

King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the lands of Westeros brace for battle. 
In A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, three to six players take on the roles of the great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, as they vie for control of the Iron Throne through the use of diplomacy and warfare. 
Based on the best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, 
A Game of Thrones is an epic board game in which it will take more than military might to win. 
Will you take power through force, use honeyed words to coerce your way onto the throne, or rally the townsfolk to your side? 
Through strategic planning, masterful diplomacy, and clever card play, spread your influence over Westeros!

A World of Intrigue, Diplomacy, and Warfare 

Fragile alliances will form and break over the course of each game, as players promise support to neighboring houses only to betray them for their own selfish ends. 
But beware; as the war unfolds, the barbaric Wildings (which are controlled automatically by the game) work to amass their forces in the far north. 
Players must occasionally set aside their differences to face a common foe--or face the consequences together. 

 A board game based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy novels Muster armies and march to war on a map that accurately portrays Westeros 
Negotiate alliances with your opponents in an ever-shifting political struggle 
Six distinct Great Houses each offer unique, asymmetrical play experiences 
Detailed artwork and intricately crafted components create a classic aesthetic.
Second Edition.
