If murder, deception and elaborate plotting is your idea of a good time, I have news for you! Nine years and eight seasons of a mythically successful television show and book series have spawned a vast number of games that can keep your mind in Westeros despite the end of the television series. In fact, there are probably enough options to keep you busy until George R.R. Martin finally drops the final novel. And that could be quite a while.

With a wide range of tabletops, mods, and original ventures to chose from, you can find your chance to slay wights, pursue adventure and claim your rightful place on the Iron Throne. If you have what it takes.

So, take your pick! Here’s an extensive list of epic Game of Thrones games.

Tabletop Game Of Thrones Games

1. A Game of Thrones: The Board Game

Choose which of the Great Houses of Westeros you wish to represent, and vie against your friends and enemies as you plot to claim the throne through diplomacy, strategy, warfare—any means necessary, really.

Bonus: Get the Mother of Dragons expansion pack.

2. A Game of Thrones Catan

What is there to say? If you like the strategy of Catan, this adaptation featuring the Brothers of the Night’s Watch, wildlings, and the challenges of the unwieldy north beyond the wall is for you.

3. A Game of Thrones: Hand of the King Card Game

Can you follow the clues to solve the murder? I cannot think of a more perfect classic board game adaptation for this show. A double-sided board lets you play in either the Red Keep or Mereen.

6. Game of Thrones Chess

I don’t think there could be anything more appropriate than a Game of Thrones Chess set. The ruthlessness, the classism, the strategery!
