Game of Thrones meets Monopoly: Check out our New Board Game!
In George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, every victory is hard-won. Every great castle is merely another strategic foothold, each alliance fraught with peril. So we were wondering: What if Ice and Fire was a Monopoly board?
What if, instead of making uneasy alliances and searching for the truth in a harsh landscape where the very seasons are set against you, you had to move around the board attempting to collect castles and avoid having to go to The Wall? We had to see if we could make it happen. And here it is: Throneopoly!
Note: We're avoiding major spoilers for stuff that hasn't happened in the television show yet. Please do the same in comments!
Here's the board, designed by John Pedigo. Click to make huge. (Or right-click and select "Open in new tab.")
And some sample "Chance"/"Community Chest" cards:
And finally, some playing pieces with the houses of Westeros on them, plus a castle and a farmhouse/inn:
Huge thanks go to designer John Pedigo, who spent countless hours making our demented vision happen.
Thanks
also to huge Game of Thrones fan Adam Whitehead, who suggested, among
other things, that passing "Go" and collecting $200 should become "a
Lannister paying his debts." And that Waterworks should be "The Drowned
God," and that the Electric Company should be "Storm's End." (We ended
up with "The Stormlands," for some reason.)
Also thanks to Kyle Liebert, Catherine Ford, Jay Bushman, Andrew Platt, Diana Gill, Jenn Marshall, Sam Caddick, Jay Tomio, Barry Bailey, Jonathan Strahan and everybody else who suggested stuff!
