Game of Thrones Risk Board Game - Skirmish Edition

Product Information

It’s important to note that there are two versions of Game of Thrones Risk: the Skirmish Edition (which we’re reviewing here), and the Deluxe Edition. The latter offers an extra map (Essos), two additional armies (Targaryen and Ghiscari), objective cards, characters, and a variety of game modes, whereas the Skirmish Edition is essentially your standard Risk with a Game of Thrones skin (and a Valar Morghulis card, which brings the game to an immediate end when drawn). I’ve seen a few comments online from customers complaining that they received the Skirmish Edition when they thought they were getting the Deluxe one, so make sure you know what you are buying. Other additions include Maester cards offering battle boosts and Gold Dragon Coins which give the player extra wealth to spend on the pursuit of power. The game also offers special quest cards on the road to victory. In a Wall Street Journal reveal today, the board game is being shown for the first time. Created by USAopoly under license from Hasbro and in partnership with HBO, it follows roughly the same rules of classic Risk, with additions. Involves all your favourite characters including Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark as you choose your side, deploy your armies and go into battle! Yes, the game of strategic conquest has paired up with HBO’s epic fantasy series, and on paper it seems like a match made in heaven. Monopoly may be the more popular game, but let’s face it – you don’t lay claim to King’s Landing by handing over cash, and once you’re sitting on the Iron Throne, deciding whether you have enough cash to buy a hotel probably isn’t going to be top of your list of priorities. Strategy and manpower is how you expand – and hold on to – your territory in Westeros – there’s no going directly to jail or declaring bankruptcy here. As the saying goes, when you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

The game has more than 650 pieces including seven armies and 28 character cards as well as silver-foil stamps of House sigils.But now disturbing tales of old rise once more and the dead amass north of the wall, the White Walkers have returned and with them comes winter and the Long Night. Risk Game of Thrones Strategy Board Game | The perfect gift for Game of Thrones Fans | Official Game of Thrones Merchandise | Based on the TV Show on HBO Game of Thrones | Themed Risk Game RISK: Game of Thrones Edition sees you take control of one of the noble houses of Westeros, with the aim of defeating your enemies and controlling the entire map. If you’re a big fan of Risk and have been playing a version of this anyway on your home made Westeros board, then it goes without saying that this is a must buy (although you’ll probably want to invest in the Deluxe version). If, like me, your interest in this is solely down to the Game of Thrones license, then I’m sure you’ll have some fun when you dust it off now and again to put your mates to the sword in an effort to control the Seven Kingdoms. Army Pieces represent noble Houses: Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Martell, Tyrell, Targaryen & Ghiscari (generic soldier army piece represent 1 unit)
