Players control a great noble House; Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, Tyrrell, or Greyjoy. With planning and diplomacy, seek to control strongholds and cities. Finally claim the Iron Throne for your House, to win. The game is played over 10 turns after which, if the throne has not been claimed, the player who controls the most cities and strongholds, wins.
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground", Cersei Lannister.
King Robert Baratheon is dead and the seven kingdoms brace for war. House Lannister, whose daughter Cersei was Robert's Queen, claims the throne for her young son Joffrey. From the Dragonstone Isle, Stannis Baratheon knows that Robert was not the true father of Joffrey and rightfully demands the throne for himself. On the Iron Isles, House Greyjoy is about to embark on a second rebellion but this time with a much grander goal. In the north, House Stark gathers its strength to defend what is right and in the south, the wealthy House Tyrrell harbours an old ambition to sit on the Iron Throne. As armies gather and ravens fly a clash of Kings is inevitable.
Game designed by Christian T Petersen, based on the bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George RR Martin.
