He has over 20 years of experience within the industry, including a decade of teaching and lecturing in film and media, and is the author of the book 'Holy Franchise, Batman! This expansion introduces the White Walkers as a new playable faction, that changes some of the rules of the game and adds a new area to the map; "Beyond the Wall". 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. RISK®: Game of Thrones™ Edition Game escalates Risk, the classic game of strategic conquest, to an epic level of chaos and war in a battle for the Iron Throne.

RISK®: Game of Thrones™ Edition Game escalates Risk, the Classic Games of strategic conquest, to an epic level of chaos and war in a battle for the Iron Throne.For example, Cersei Lannister can be played after the conquest of three or more territories in a single turn, and allows players to draw an extra territory card.

On top of that you have five Houses – Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Martell and Tyrell – each with their own sculpted pieces to represent their armies. 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 believe I played it twice in my younger days; both times, I wasn’t really sure what I was doing (and looking back, I don’t think anyone else at the table was either). 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.

In Risk: Game of Thrones Edition, you play on a map of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as well as on the wider known world of Essos. Well, the board (obviously), which recreates Westeros from The Wall down, with nine regions – The North, The Riverlands, The Vale of Arryn, The Iron Islands, The Westerlands, The Crownlands, The Stormlands, The Reach and Dorce – split into 48 territories, each with their own card. If you’re looking to fill in the week between episodes of Game of Thrones season six and fancy gathering a few of your friends and family round to raise your banners and reenact the War of the Five Kings with a set of dice and a game board, then Habsro may have just the solution for you with its Song of Ice and Fire-themed Risk. 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.Created by USAopoly under license from Hasbro and in partnership with HBO, it follows roughly the same rules of classic Risk, with additions. On one side of the board, the Iron Throne is the ultimate prize as up to seven players battle across Westeros.
