"Time well spend"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Played for an entire weekend with the family, every moment was filled with the excitement. Run your own military forces, governing resources and bargain with other players to stay in the game for that one turn longer. Never gets old

"A challenge - but worth the effort!"
5 stars"

This game is ridiculously detailed. After an hour of trying to read the thick rule book we gave up and found a youtube video online (which was very helpful). This game is amazing after you get the hang of it. The board game itself is of extremely high quality. The amount of times you can play this without a repeat or a boring game is a good testament to this game. Worth every penny!

Only issue I can see with this game is that if a player is to lose one of the many tokens then you will have to make your own – there are no spare pieces – not sure how that will affect the feel of the game after a couple of years.

"Excellent strategic fun!"
5 stars"

Played this with group of friends over many weekends. Game time averages between 2 and 4 hours and is worth the time spent. Must have for any Game of Thrones and strategy game fan.

"A complicated, but superbly fun board game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The rules are kinda complicated, but by round 4 (of 10 rounds) everyone knows what they're doing. It's lots of fun on the board with tight combat mechanics and an easily understood game objective. The real fun however is above the board in discussion, hidden group chats, banter, and bargains.

A great game for a group of board game enthusiasts or big ASOIAF fans. A perfect game for people who are both. We play it every week :)

"Hours of fun."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Its like playing monopoly and risk at the same time. When you play the game of thrones you win or you die.

"You know nothing Jon Snow"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Probably my favourite “play with wine/whiskey and a table of old friends” game… An absolute must-have!

"An excellent strategy game."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

No dice needed. All you need is your intellect and skill in diplomacy / bluffing. Definitely worth getting but you must have 3 to 6 players.

"Awesome"

Awesome

"Fantastic game fighting for the Iron Throne!"
5 stars"

Just like the tv show/books, you're set in the world full of political ploys, strategy, fighting and backstabbing! A great game for recommended 4–6 players, you make alliances and break them so easily!

Games do last quite a while (2+ hours) and even longer if you are all new, but when you get the hang of it it makes for a great board game night!

Really fun game, definitely recommended for fans or board game fans!

"Amazing Game"

Played it many times and every game has been thoroughly enjoyable. Would definitely recommend it.

"Lots of rules but great game!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Takes a few games to get your head around the rules but is extremely fun.
