Our take on Reigns: Game of Thrones
Its character-switching structure broadens the range of stories and decisions, but gives up the continuity of following one ruler through a single uninterrupted campaign.
What is Reigns: Game of Thrones?
Take control of several rulers, including Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark, as they face distinct events and mysteries.
Each turn presents a request or demand from Westeros; swipe in either direction to decide how to respond and manage relationships with rival factions, subjects, and bannermen. The game tracks the balance and favor of the realm as each reign unfolds. Characters can also be removed by tearing their cards, with consequences attached to that choice. Melisandre’s visions create alternate outcomes beyond the television story, while side activities include jousting and tavern fights. The game also includes music from the HBO series by Ramin Djawadi.
