While the learning curve is steep. This game once understood is the best board game I have ever played. It has strategy, planning, alliances, betrayal and everything you would expect from the game of thrones franchise (except sex). Everyone will need to watch the tutorial video and read the game rule book to understand the game. A few trial rounds will need to be conducted with the provided reference sheets by your side and everyone will get it. Once you understand the game you will realize how simple it is, it just seems overwhelming at first. The game can be played with 3,4 and 5 players, but the it really comes alive with 6 players. As well players will only truly enjoy it if they are into the Game of Thrones show/books. If you love board games, have a bunch of people to play and have 3-4 hours each gaming session. Then go for it. This game will not let you down. Read more

Great game! highly recommended. In summary it is similar to Settlers of Catan however, there is no luck involved (there is an option to add a little bit of luck factor to spice things up). Right amount of complexity, a little more complex than Catan but simple enough that you can get the basic strategy by the end of your first game. Read more

This is a very impressive board game! It's intended for adults (or, at the very least, older children) - as it's a rather sophisticated game, requiring a lengthy attention span. You'll ideally need 4 to 6 players in order to enjoy the game ... although you could make it work with 2 or 3. And, any more than 6 players, you'll need to operate in teams. The objective is to engage in various tactics - from open diplomacy to secret alliances and bloody warfare - so as to conquer the Iron Throne for your selected House of the Seven Kingdoms of Westros. It's based on George R. R. Martin fantasy novels - 'A Song of Ice and Fire' - and this second edition draws on the imagery as seen in the 'Game of Thrones' TV series. The game consists of a lot ... a large board, and hundreds of cards and tokens. I've attached some photos so you can see the contents. All of it is well made, and this board game is a deluxe item. It can take quite some time to play - between 2 and 3 hours - and each time you play involves a new set of circumstances, depending on the various strategies each player opts to take. I do enjoy board games, and this is one of the more detailed and complex that I've played. Nonetheless, it's a great deal of fun. And I recommend it to fans of 'A Game of Thrones'. Read more

A Game of Thrones es un increíble juego de mesa que se asemeja a Risk pero le quita lo mas molesto a ese juego, la dependencia de los dados. Muchas veces jugando Risk uno tiene una estrategia perfecta, pero por la suerte uno tiene que esperarse hasta el próximo turno para jugarla y de esa forma los juegos se alargan de manera arbitraria. Este juego no tiene eso, en lugar de dados todos ponen una misión secreta para sus tropas que se revela junto con las de los demás jugadores, toda la batalla entonces cambia de un momento a otro, es necesario crear alianzas si quieres sobrevivir, y volverte bueno traicionando si quieres ganar. Es un juego competitivo, con dinámicas de mantenimiento de unidades como la producción de comida, y temáticas como una invasión de salvajes del norte que genera un daño a todos los jugadores o solo a los menos afortunados. El trono, la visión del cuervo y la espada valiria tienen también lugar en la campaña, un digno representante de esta popular serie. Read more

Gameplay: The game is a rich blend of strategy, negotiation, and deception. Each player takes on the role of one of the great houses, vying for control of the Iron Throne. The mechanics are well-balanced, ensuring that no single strategy guarantees victory. The emphasis on diplomacy and alliances adds a layer of depth that keeps every session fresh and unpredictable. Components: The quality of the components is outstanding. The board is beautifully illustrated, and the house tokens and cards are durable and intricately designed. The attention to detail really helps bring the world of Westeros to life on the table. Replayability: With multiple house options and the ever-changing dynamics of player interactions, no two games are the same. The game scales well with different numbers of players, though it truly shines with a full complement of six. Complexity: This is not a game for casual players or those looking for a quick play. The rules are detailed and the strategies involved require thoughtful planning and a willingness to adapt. However, for those who enjoy a challenge, the learning curve is part of the fun and incredibly rewarding once mastered. Time Commitment: Be prepared for long game sessions. A full game can easily last 3-4 hours, but for me, the time flies by due to the engaging and tense gameplay. Conclusion: The Game of Thrones Board Game is a must-have for fans of the series and strategy enthusiasts alike. It brilliantly encapsulates the political intrigue, battles, and shifting alliances of the source material. Gather your friends, prepare for betrayal, and may the best house rule Westeros! Read more
