Sign in to your ScreenRant account Ever since George R.R. Martin first put pen to paper in the late 90s, the world has become obsessed with tales of Westeros and the Iron Throne. We've had many hit TV series, including Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Beyond the books and the TV shows though, there has been little in the way of games. Sure, Telltale had a go at the series, but there's definitely a gap in the gaming market for some Game of Thrones content. Fans of Game of Thrones don't have long to wait to experience the pursuit of the Iron Throne for themselves. Thanks to Asmodee, a Game of Thrones: The Board Game (second edition) launches next month, Sept 2026. Published by Fantasy Flight Games, the board game allows 3 to 6 players to battle it out in the ultimate quest to rule the lands of Westeros. The board game is expected to arrive in stock on 17 Sept and has an age rating of 14+, which gives it appeal for the whole family. The Game of Thrones: The Board Game (second edition) is mere weeks away from being available to purchase online. Fans of the epic power struggle will get to explore the lands of Westeros, wage war on their rivals and introduce iconic characters from the show to carry them to victory. Whether you choose to form delicate alliances with other players or just burn King's Landing to the ground on your own is up to you. Having a Lannister in your corner might be the edge you need to win in battle against your fellow players. Or perhaps you'll have the infamous Eddard Stark leading your army to victory. With rich lore to pull inspiration from, The Game of Thrones: The Board Game (second edition) might just provide endless enjoyment for board game lovers out there. Offering a combination of strategy, skill and luck, players will battle it out to take over strongholds and conquer the map before, ultimately, only one player is left to take their rightful position on the Iron Throne. Heavy is the head that wears the crown! With many games available offering a Game of Thrones vibe, it's great to see something official like this that can be enjoyed by the whole family. And with season 3 of House of the Dragon being one of the most viewed series in HBO history, it's clear that fans are still just as keen on adventures in Westeros as ever. Taking George R.R. Martin's vision and expanding it to an interactive board game might be the purest form of fantasy and wish fulfillment. The chance to roleplay as a conqueror and successfully take over King's Landing sounds like a power fantasy that needs to be explored. Whether you're outsmarting your rivals or just trying to win with brute force, The Game of Thrones: The Board Game (second edition) looks like it might offer hundreds of hours of family fun. It also might be the perfect distraction while we wait for season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to arrive. Game of Thrones seems to be growing more popular by the minute!
