In A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, three to five players take on the roles of the great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as they vie for control of the Iron Throne through the use of diplomacy and warfare. Based on the best-selling "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones is an epic board game in which it will take more than military might to win. Through strategic planning, slick diplomacy, and clever card play, players must spread their influence over Westeros to finally claim the Iron Throne.
