Reigns: Game of Thrones

Story & overview

About the game

Through the fiery visions of Melisandre, claim the Iron Throne as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and more to carefully navigate the complex relationships and hostile factions of the Seven Kingdoms. Employ ruthless tactics to outwit political rivals and wield impervious charm on your fickle bannerman. Maintain the balance and favor of the people to extend your reign and maybe, one day, survive the horrors of the coming winter.

Set in the brutal, scheming world of Westeros, this swipe-based strategy game hands the player the crown and all the peril that comes with it. Taking on the roles of iconic figures from the Seven Kingdoms, including Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark, the player must rule as monarch by responding to an endless procession of petitions, plots, and dilemmas. Every choice is a simple swipe left or right, yet each ripples across four fragile pillars of power: the strength of the army, the favor of the faith, the love of the people, and the wealth of the realm. Let any one slip too far in either direction, and the ruler falls, giving way to another. Framed as prophetic visions glimpsed by the Red Priestess Melisandre in her flames, the game lets players reshape the fates of Westeros and imagine how its many rival claimants might have reigned.
