HBO and Dire Wolf Digital, the astoundingly appropriately named Denver-based board game studio, have just announced Game of Thrones: Oathbreaker, a new social deduction tabletop game coming just before the final season of Game of Thrones!
Game of Thrones: Oathbreaker is “a game of deception for 5 to 8 players. One player claims the Iron Throne. The others become Lords and Ladies of the great houses of Westeros, scheming for the King’s favor, for power, or to bring a dynasty to its knees. Loyalists square off against traitorous conspirators in a game where secret agendas intertwine, and only the wise can tell allies from enemies.” If you’re reading this, you probably know hit goes: “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.”
“We’re longtime fans of everything Game of Thrones” says Scott Martins, President of Dire Wolf Digital, “and we jumped at the chance to work with HBO to translate the tension and intrigue of one of the best shows in the world to a game that fans of every level of gaming experience can enjoy. Betrayal’s never been so much fun.”
Lavishly illustrated with photos from the show, Game of Thrones: Oathbreaker captures all the twists and turns of Westeros in a game that’s fast, fun, and strategic. You can play as any of 12 unique characters as you connive and scheme your way to victory.
The game is being released this spring in North America, at the retail price of $35 USD. You can find out more at Dire Wolf Digital‘s website, or on their Twitter and Facebook.
