Fantasy Flight Games Of Thrones: Trivia (Hbo)

A great game.I was sceptical to begin with as a lot of Trivia games are simply "pick a card, answer question, gain a wedge of cheese etc" but this one is different, you get a board to play on with the aim of conquering Westeros with your knowledge of the TV show (Seasons 1-4). All questions are multiple choice and there's a picture round too, we have fun just trying to pronounce the names of some of the characters pictured (eg. Q. What is the name of the Unsullied Slave Master? A. Kraznys mo Nakloz… of course).On your turn you chose a location, then which season and whether you'd like to answer 1, 2 or all 3 questions about that season. If you get your question(s) correct you insert a wedge corresponding to the number of questions answered and remove an opponent’s smaller wedge (I have answered 2 questions correctly, I insert my 2 question wedge and remove my opponents 1 question wedge). Whoever has the highest amount of wedges in a location controls that location, whoever controls the most locations at the end of the game is the winner.With over 1,200 questions it’ll take a while to get old. Some of the questions are purely guesswork, unless you’ve watched all the special features on the DVD’s. One question, “How many people auditioned for the role of Arya Stark? 200, 400 or 800?”

2 ways to play. The basic game is basically trivial pursuit but with a map of Westeros and awesome Thrones questions. The advanced game has some nice twists with the bonus cards that brings some interesting tactics into play.The questions are based on series 1 - 4 but you will need to have paid close attention because many of them are tricky. A few of the questions required knowledge of bonus scenes on the DVD. Luckily I'd watched these on Youtube recently because I can't get enough Thrones. (Well worth checking out deleted scenes, whether you buy the game or not.)The questions have 3 choices of answer so even if it's a tricky one you still have a good chance to guess it, so it's not too much of a problem.The game takes approx. 1hour to play, if you take your time and allow thinking time for questions.Also worth noting that the actual board and cards are high quality prints and feels well worth the money. I initially felt it was slightly pricey but I now feel it's worth every penny.Very happy with it.

Bought as a gift for a Game of Thrones fanThey loved it & have enjoyed playing itSo total result.... worth the price for the joy it brought & continues to bring
