Reigns: Game of Thrones Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I’m rudely interrupted from my Small Council meeting at Casterly Rock. A guard informs me, the illustrious and gallant Tyrion Lannister, a representative from the Iron Bank has arrived and is in a less than happy mood. My money situation is precarious as I war with the Greyjoys and build alliances in the north. It’d be best to meet with my creditors. I adjourn and make for the throne room.

With clever writing and a deductive approach to ruling from the Iron Throne, it’s a great way to revisit the world of Westeros as we await the final season of the show. Just don’t stay around for too long or you might find yourself growing bored fighting against the Dornishmen for the umpteenth time.
