Through Melisandre’s visions, take the Iron Throne as figures including Cersei, Jon, Daenerys, Tyrion, and Sansa. Each ruler faces challenges and alternate paths through Westeros.
Respond to cards presenting requests, rumors, and crises by swiping left or right. Choices shift the balance among the church, the people, the army, and the treasury; letting any one side gain or lose too much can end your reign.
Unlock rulers, cards, and scenarios as you play, and pursue each character’s distinct challenges. Between political decisions, take part in mini-games such as jousting and tavern brawls, which can also affect your rule.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its quick left-or-right decisions, the tension of balancing the church, people, army, and treasury, and its use of familiar Westeros characters and atmosphere. Some also appreciate unlocking rulers, events, and achievements that give them reasons to replay. Others find the choices repetitive or overly dependent on random events, and some report bugs that interrupt or stall play.
