Here's where the game itself makes up for the branding's shortcomings. Game of Thrones: Monopoly is just as fun to play as the regular game and (somehow) even more cutthroat when it comes to claiming properties and paying out rental fees. It's a little extra fun when playing with GoT superfans who get excited at seeing famous, infamous, and lesser-known properties pop up throughout the game. The game also moves fast. The rules force you to buy whatever property you land on, and if you can't (or don't want to), it will immediately be available for other players to scoop up. Given how much money you are given at the start, it's pretty easy to load up on properties and even start building on them; this version of the game also encourages you to trade and barter when the money starts to run out (even when it's not your turn!), which makes it particularly cutthroat and, again, speedy. Pay the Castle cost on the Title Deed card, return all 4 Holdfasts to the Royal Treasury, and put a Castle on the Location.

Whoever controls the most locations in the Seven Kingdoms wins! Choose more difficult questions to immediately gain more control over a location, accumulate resources to earn the favor of iconic characters, and cunningly make and break alliances with other players.When you land on a property that someone else owns, the owner must ask you for rent. If they do, you must pay. If they don't ask before the next player rolls the dice, you don't have to pay! The traditional MONOPOLY “Chance” and “Community Chest” cards are transformed into “Valar Morghulis” and “The Iron Throne” cards and include directives both fair and foul. Roll a double on your next turn. If you do, you 're free! Use the roll to move, and that's the end of your turn.

If it's straight-up strategy you want, look no further than George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition and its "A Dance with Dragons" expansion. (More of a mouthful than one of G.R.R.M.'s detailed feast descriptions, yeah?) Asmodee Digital and Dire Wolf Digital's themed strategy game is available on PC and mobile, and will absolutely test your strategic mind. If you haven't played tactical games like this before, boy howdy, you're in for a real brain-buster. But perseverance will reward you with not only plenty of fan-service drops from ASoIaF lore but also the thrill of victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Property can be traded for coins, other property, and/ or Get Out of Jail Free cards. The amount is decided by the players making the deal. Game of Thrones RISK, based on the epic HBO series, features two ways to play, including factions of noble Houses vying for control of Westeros during the time of The War of the Five Kings, as well as Daenerys Targaryen’s rise to power in Essos. If your conspiracy can influence characters longer and more effectively than your opponents, you get closer to becoming the new power behind the Iron Throne. If your opponents can outwit you, however, you lose the round and take penalty points.

A Game of Thrones: Genesis - Developed by Cyanide Studios and released in September of 2011 by 1C-SoftClub, this real-time strategy game aimed to span roughly 1,000 years of Westeros history, but was panned as a blatant cash-grab. Blasted for undercooked mechanics, vague objectives, and overly specialized units, even the chance to control a Targaryen dragon couldn't save this rushed RTS.

In the game, two to six players take command of the factions of Westeros and fight to claim the Iron Throne, using the iconic characters of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the lands of Westeros brace for battle. Can you claim the Iron Throne?
