The Verdict
based on 18 reviews
“It has allusions to Diplomacy without destroying friendships, and has a feel of Risk without taking 6 hours to play. While it's not my favorite territorial control game, it still is very, very good.”
“So, A Game of Thrones board game is a fantastic game, we heard, the Discriminating Gamer, we recommend that you buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it.”(19:27)
“This game is a beast because to play it you need six players and six hours. You might watch my channel and think that I don't like big long heavy games, but that's not true. I like them when they're done right, and I don't think they're done right very often.”
“A Game of Thrones does that one thing that every thematic game aims to do and so often falls short, it absolutely nails the theme.”
“If you're up for it, A Game of Thrones: TBG is not only fun, it's a damned accurate encapsulation of everything that makes George R.R. Martin's books so enjoyable.”
“I really love A Game of Thrones. I always have a lot of fun playing it. One of the big pros for this game is that you are working against each other, so it's a competitive game.”(5:20)
“Other than that, I recommend this game pretty highly. It is intensive, be prepared for 4our games if you're all moving quickly. Make sure you read the rule book before you start playing, but if you like strategy or if you love Game of Thrones, this is the game for you.”(12:54)
“Having said that this is my go to game with my group of friends and we’ve had countless evenings of amazing gameplay. What A Game of Thrones does best is just so good!”
“If you like deep strategic thinking and you like negotiation, I think this game is a must, but you got to have the time to play it, you got to have the right group of people.”(56:42)
“Every time I play it we've got great stories, it's true. Uh, I get everything I want out of it, even when I get my butt handed to me, I still usually almost always have a great time talking smack with people.”(16:07)
“Far from just a cash-grabbing tie-in, the board game is a masterpiece of channelling the ruthless, backstabbing shenanigans you'll have come to recognise from the books and telly.”
“Game of Thrones the port game I would recommend this one it's definitely worth it you know and the fact that they still been supported and there's an expansion which we're going to talk about next”(13:38)
