If you’ve never played it before, the Game of Thrones board game made by Fantasy Flight is a pretty decent marriage of Risk and, well, Game of Thrones. Up to six players, representing the major houses of Westeros from the books, have to struggle for dominance during the War of Five Kings in the aftermath of King Robert's death. It involves bluffing, manipulation, shifting alliances, tense battles, and thanks to Asmodee Digital and Dire Wolf, it has been brought to PC and is available to buy right now. A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition recreates the look and feel of the original tabletop game, while also allowing for some small digital-only touches to make everything come to life. It's described by the dev as a “social wargame” - only one person can ultimately win, but no one player is strong enough to snatch victory on their own. You have to strike alliances of convenience and plan for your game-winning move knowing that if you fail, you've left the door wide open for someone else to claim victory.
