Can you claim the Iron Throne? Designed for ages 14 and up, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition is a classic game of warfare, diplomacy, and intrigue for three to six players. Taking control of the well-known characters from George R.R. Martin's beloved fantasy Series, players must fight for dominance of the realm. Will you take power through force, coerce your way onto the throne with persuasive speeches, or rally the townsfolk to your side? With opportunities for strategic planning, masterful diplomacy, and clever card play, this game gives you a host of ways to spread your influence over Westeros. Review: This is a very impressive board game! It's intended for adults (or, at the very least, older children) - as it's a rather sophisticated game, requiring a lengthy attention span. You'll ideally need 4 to 6 players in order to enjoy the game ... although you could make it work with 2 or 3. And, any more than 6 players, you'll need to operate in teams. The objective is to engage in various tactics - from open diplomacy to secret alliances and bloody warfare - so as to conquer the Iron Throne for your selected House of the Seven Kingdoms of Westros. It's based on George R. R. Martin fantasy novels - 'A Song of Ice and Fire' - and this second edition draws on the imagery as seen in the 'Game of Thrones' TV series. The game consists of a lot ... a large board, and hundreds of cards and tokens. I've attached some photos so you can see the contents. All of it is well made, and this board game is a deluxe item. It can take quite some time to play - between 2 and 3 hours - and each time you play involves a new set of circumstances, depending on the various strategies each player opts to take. I do enjoy board games, and this is one of the more detailed and complex that I've played. Nonetheless, it's a great deal of fun. And I recommend it to fans of 'A Game of Thrones'. Review: Great game! highly recommended. In summary it is similar to Settlers of Catan however, there is no luck involved (there is an option to add a little bit of luck factor to spice things up). Right amount of complexity, a little more complex than Catan but simple enough that you can get the basic strategy by the end of your first game. ## Features - A board game based on A Game of Thrones, a novel now adapted to an HBO series - 3–6 players take command of the Great Houses of Westeros - Updated second edition, incorporates elements of past expansions - Features a streamlined rulebook and updated art - Includes welcome new enhancements like Tides of Battle cards and player screens ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1589947207 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,416 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #134 in Board Games | | Brand Name | Asmodee | | Color | Assorted | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,890) | | Educational Objective | Develop strategic thinking, critical thinking, and negotiation skills through complex gameplay and decision-making. | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09781589947207 | | Included Components | Board Game | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 7.4 x 29.6 x 29.6 centimeters | | Item Part Number | FFGVA65, VA65 | | Item Type Name | Base Games | | Item Weight | 2.18 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Fantasy Flight Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 40.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 18.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | VA65 | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Model Number | VA65 | | Number of Players | 6 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Set Name | A Game of Thrones | | Size | M | | Sub Brand | Game of Thrones | | Subject Character | Game of Thrones | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Fantasy | | UPC | 013031011471 699788109038 | ## Images ![A Game of Thrones Boardgame Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hyxdOGyrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I've heard that if you don't win, then you die. Is this true?** A: In the game of thrones you either win or you die, there is no middle ground. **Q: Hey I see they have the second edition as well as a deluxe second edition. What is the difference between the two?** A: The "deluxe" second edition is a scam. Check the customer reviews--everyone says it's just a more expensive version of the 2nd edition. I saw a previous answer to a question like yours, and some dude was claiming you need "deluxe" edition to get the Wildling deck and extra pieces, but that's BS. The game comes with all the pieces you need, so just get the 2nd edition. Oh, and it's awesome! **Q: Is this game a variation on Diplomacy? That is, no dice rolls; your success comes down to skill at alliance-building and military strategy?** A: Although I am not familiar with Diplomacy, I am familiar with A Game of Thrones. Much of the game does come down to alliance-building and troop positioning strategy. An element of randomness is introduced through the Westeros cards. These cards are drawn at the beginning of each turn before any orders are assigned. They affect all players equally at the beginning of any given turn. For example, some cards might have players adjust their supply tracks or muster additional troops. These cards affect all players equally, although there impacts on individuals' strategies could vary. Following the cards, a player can adjust his or her game strategy before assigning orders.Randomness is a component, but players are given time to react to it. And once orders are assigned, they are played out through an intricate system which rewards in depth strategy. **Q: What is the difference between the deluxe second edition and the regular Second edition?** A: I think you should be careful because it seems there's no such thing as a "deluxe edidion". I checked the webpage for Fantasy Flight Games and they make no mention of such a thing. Also the box art displayed here says nothing about it being a "deluxe" edition. Personally I'm passing on this one and getting the "regular" one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***D on 8 June 2016* This is a very impressive board game!

Muchas veces jugando Risk uno tiene una estrategia perfecta, pero por la suerte uno tiene que esperarse hasta el próximo turno para jugarla y de esa forma los juegos se alargan de manera arbitraria. Este juego no tiene eso, en lugar de dados todos ponen una misión secreta para sus tropas que se revela junto con las de los demás jugadores, toda la batalla entonces cambia de un momento a otro, es necesario crear alianzas si quieres sobrevivir, y volverte bueno traicionando si quieres ganar. Es un juego competitivo, con dinámicas de mantenimiento de unidades como la producción de comida, y temáticas como una invasión de salvajes del norte que genera un daño a todos los jugadores o solo a los menos afortunados. El trono, la visión del cuervo y la espada valiria tienen también lugar en la campaña, un digno representante de esta popular serie. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Game of Thrones Boardgame Second Edition - A Game of Thrones The Board Game Mother of Dragons Expansion Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 3-8 Players, 2-4 Hour Playtime, Made by Fantasy Flight Games - Monopoly House of the Dragon Edition Board Game | Based on the Hit TV Series | Ages 17 and Up | 2 to 6 Players | Strategy Games (Amazon Exclusive) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/277708718-a-game-of-thrones-boardgame-second-edition](https://www.desertcart.at/products/277708718-a-game-of-thrones-boardgame-second-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
