| Reigns: Game of Thrones casts the player as a king or queen trying to avoid rebellions, disastrous wars, assassination or supernatural interference to stay on the throne as long as possible. It’s presented as a kind of card game meets Tinder, where underlings ask players to make judgement calls ranging from whom to invite to the ball to whether to suck up to the clergy, or what to do about the enormous dragon descending upon your stronghold. Decisions are taken by swiping left or right. | Reigns: Game of Thrones casts the player as a king or queen trying to avoid rebellions, disastrous wars, assassination or supernatural interference to stay on the throne as long as possible.

| The game explores scenarios for the futures of key characters from the Game of Thrones books and TV show, as prophesied by red priestess Melisandre. Westeros obsessives can experiment with what might have resulted if key events from the annals of the Seven Kingdoms had happened differently – and how their decisions could shape the future. | The game explores scenarios for the futures of key characters from the Game of Thrones books and TV show, as prophesied by red priestess Melisandre.
