From the publisher: In the game of thrones, knowledge is as powerful a weapon as Valyrian steel or dragonsfire. Without wielding swords, ambitious characters likeTyrion Lannister, Petyr Baelish, and Olenna Tyrell successfully navigate deadly political upheavals and wars. What you know can benefit you, and even cripple your opponents, but in the words of Petyr Baelish, “what we don’t know is what usually gets us killed.” Game of Thrones: The Trivia Game lets you use your knowledge to compete for the Iron Throne. You and your friends answer questions about the first four seasons of the hit HBO series in order to conquer key locations in Westeros. Whoever controls the most locations in the Seven Kingdoms wins! Choose more difficult questions to immediately gain more control over a location, accumulate resources to earn the favor of iconic characters, and cunningly make and break alliances with other players. Questions are organized by season to ensure that your game is free from spoilers. With over 1,200 questions included, you are certain to find fresh challenges and learn new details about Westeros with every game.
Game of Thrones: The Trivia Game supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.

The listed playing time for Game of Thrones: The Trivia Game is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Game of Thrones: The Trivia Game for ages 18 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
