The PC port is based on A Game of Thrones: TBG’s second edition, released in 2011 as an improved version of the 2003 board game. The digital edition’s new gameplay trailer shows off the app’s 3D visuals and animations, which stick relatively closely to the physical board and pieces in the board game. Combat is resolved using cards, with players needing to work together to defend against Wildling attacks from the north in-between their own clashes. Taking command of House Lannister, Stark, Greyjoy, Martell, Tyrell or Baratheon, players form fragile alliances as they secretly plot their moves, before simultaneously revealing and resolving actions and battles. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books, the TV show they inspired and Fantasy Flight’s tabletop board game, which similarly follows the houses of Westeros as they scramble for the Iron Throne in the wake of King Robert Baratheon’s death. Teased last year before being confirmed for release over the summer, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition sticks close to the political intrigue, sweeping strategy and brutal backstabbing of George R.R.
A Game of Thrones: The Board Game has been given a release date on PC, along with a new trailer showing off the digital adaptation’s gameplay.
