10 Monopoly Game of Thrones

AMAZON

A game where players must fight and negotiate for different properties, pay owners a fee to stay, and try and take down their opponents by milking them of every last dollar? It’s the perfect premise for adding a little fantasy world twist. Instead of Park Avenue and Boardwalk, players travel through Westeros, buying, selling, and trading property from within the seven Kingdoms. Choose your player token – up to six people can play – from six Honorary sigils of the great houses. Will you play as a Lannister or a Stark?

Other items follow the same theme, including gold dragon and silver stag cardboard coins, and a gameboard with graphics inspired by the show. Oh, and instead of placing houses and hotels on your properties, it’s holdfasts and castles. Perhaps the best part, though, is the iron throne card holder with a musical stand that plays the theme song. Sweet!
