Battle, bribe, and backstab to survive winter in Reigns: Game of Thrones

The original Reigns was an inspired game that adapted the swiping system of dating app Tinder into a monarchy simulator. Swipe left to execute your cousin, right to let them live. Reigns: Game of Thrones has the same decision swiping mechanics as the original game, but now you’re fighting for control of the Iron Throne and dominance over Westeros. You are a ruler burdened with a number of decisions that affect your kingdom, when faced with a choice, you have just two options: swiping left for one option and right for the other (or, for us PC players, clicking and dragging in the direction of your decision). As well as navigating the alliances and conflicts of George R. R Martin’s world, you must also balance the four factions of your kingdom; the church, the people, the army, and the treasury - which in this Game of Thrones edition is the Iron Bank. Keeping the support for these factions balanced is of the highest importance, if one of them gets too powerful or too weak you’ll meet a bloody end. In this regard, thats what makes Game of Thrones the perfect game for a Reigns adaptation, we get to decide the tricky fates of the kingdom where death is just one swipe away.
