A game of warfare, diplomacy, and intrigue, based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy novels. View larger.


Claim the Iron Throne

Based on the bestselling fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin (now a hit HBO series), A Game of Thrones: The Board Game draws players into a war-torn world of sun-scorched sands, lush forests, and chilling northlands. Each player takes control of one of six Great Houses of Westeros, then sets out on an epic campaign of combat and politics to secure total dominance.

This board game includes clear, detailed rules to guide you through setup and gameplay. Play begins when each person receives an army of footmen, knights, siege engines and ship units as well as a set of order tokens and other necessary components. Each player also receives a deck of unique house cards, which represent important characters from A Song of Ice and Fire and are used as leaders in battles against rival houses.



Vibrant Art and Intricate Detailing

A Game of Thrones: The Board Game captures the most memorable elements of George R.R. Martin's popular series. The detailed board represents an accurate map of Westeros, and the tokens and cards convey many of its most significant locations and characters. Attractive marbled plastic figures shaped as footmen, knights, ships, and siege engines display your military might to the realm while contributing to the game's overall medieval aesthetic.




Game board is enhanced with figures, battle cards, tokens, and overlays.

Raise Your House to Dominance

Game play proceeds over the course of ten rounds, after which the player who has claimed the most areas containing castles or strongholds is declared the winner. If at any time throughout the game a player controls seven such areas, that player may immediately claim victory.

Each round in the game is made up of three phases: the Westeros Phase, the Planning Phase, and the Action Phase. The Westeros Phase represents special events and the day-to-day activities in Westeros. In the Planning Phase, players secretly assign orders to all of their units. This portion of the game emphasizes diplomacy and deduction. Can players trust their so-called allies, or is a timely betrayal in the making? Finally, during the Action Phase, orders are revealed, alliances crumble, and fierce battles decide the players' fates.

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 Game of Thrones: The Board Game draws you into a vibrant gaming world, bringing your favorite characters to life. The board resembles paint on distressed parchment for an old-world look, while the token and card art exhibits intricate detailing fans of the novels will recognize and enjoy.

What's in the Box

Game board, rule book, 138 plastic units, 105 cards, 6 player screens, and 266 tokens and overlays.

    An Amazing Game that Captures the Essence of the Books
    5 Stars
    An Amazing Game that Captures the Essence of the Books
    George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series is absolutely wonderful. It succeeds largely by presenting a grand, epic scope of wars and conflict, dragons, and wraiths, but also manages to create interesting characters and tell intimate stories. Other key factors in the books are treachery, intrigue, and betrayal. Fantasy Flight Games' "A Game of Thrones: The Board Game" manages to recreate all of the thrilling adventure of the books, but most importantly offers that same great sense of back-stabbing and double-crossing.Up to six players take on the roles of the book's great houses, each with their own geographic starting lands on the board. Each player commands units which can then attack other players in an attempt to be the first to capture the most castles. The problem is that with supply caps no one house can become powerful enough to conquer the needed objectives on his own, and so must rely on the help of others to succeed. This is dangerous, however, as someone who appears to be winning can easily face the treason of his friends.Game play resembles that of another great game, Avalon Hill's classic "Diplomacy." Players place action tokens near their units face down, then reveal them more or less simultaneously. This allows one player to promise another player the support of his military units, only to reveal that he has betrayed him at the critical moment. It is an absolutely wonderful game mechanic that will will either cause the object of your treachery to hate you until the day you die or howl with laughter. (Seriously, you don't want to play this game with people who take things like this far too seriously- you will lose friends). Other mechanics involve auctions to gain coveted positions in the kingdom, each with their own abilities, and the threat of Wildling attacks from north of the wall. Various other cards allow you to take certain actions each turn in a really interesting manner.All told, "A Game of Thrones: The Board Game" is just a thrilling adventure that will provide hours of entertainment with each game. Check it out- after all, "Winter is Coming!"
