| A Game of Thrones - Board Game I've recently purchased this game, and my friends and I have become quite hooked on it. Anyone else out there play this one yet? I'd like to hear other comments/opinions on the game content. The game is based on the GRRM book of the same title, and pits 5 of the major houses in a battle for the Iron throne. I'd compare it (loosely) to games like Risk and Axis and Allies. It has good complexity, but not too much to be overbearing. |

| Re: A Game of Thrones - Board Game The game can be bought from your local Forbidden Planet if you have one. I've had a stab at playing it, but unfortunately most of my mates feel themselves to be a bit old for boardgames!  It does seem pretty cool though  |

| Re: A Game of Thrones - Board Game I took a look online, but I don't think I'll be getting it any time soon...My husband is into Risk type games, but I've never really enjoyed them much so I think I'll pass... I'm seriously considering starting the TCG though... |

| Re: A Game of Thrones - Board Game I've played a lot of Risk, and presently I'd rank Game of Thrones higher. I like the complexity and scarcity it brings to managing your forces. Supply rules restrict the size of your armies, which brings a little more realism into managing your troops and their movements. My friends all love playing this game - and they have never read the books. |
