This game is still full of bugs. It is difficult to finish the game with other players. Game is grate, but developers are not able to make it functional for already long time. Do not waste money and time. This will be disappointing to you

Sadly, the game is unplayable online, we tried many times and 99% of started games just hangs in a random moment. Nobody cannot do anything; you cannot return to the lobby when you leave for whatever reason. Waste of time. It's better to play on swordsandravens.

As a longtime fan of the physical board game, I was thrilled to finally have a digital version that handles all the tedious setup and rule-tracking automatically — and in that regard, it genuinely delivers. The UI is clean, combat calculations are handled correctly, and the challenge scenarios add a nice single-player story mode I wasn't expecting. That said, if you're planning to play online with strangers, be …

The game itself is pretty cool, all mechanics work good. But the fact that online game might just freeze in the middle of the game when u've already played an hour+ is frustrating and I dont think its that hard to fix but devs just abandoned this game I suppose

Cerebral challenge: feels satisfying to win. No quick dopamine rush here. Feels like the board game Bloodrage. This is a chess game; I was able to concentrate on planning better moves after I turned off the sound. The card art is dark and gritty, true to the TV show. Reminds me of the card art on The Witcher game. I've never played the board game version, but I've heard that player interaction is key to the board …

Martin is such an incredible writer that it almost feels like I'm experiencing the story for the first time again! I'm going to start A Clash of Kings tomorrow, I'm excited! #Booksky #ASOIAF #GameofThrones

Finally, one editor tells everyone it appears as a Game of Thrones reference. None of them has seen Game of Thrones. Meanwhile, pure comedy for me.

positive · AI labelView post →A Game of Thrones: The Board Game is a grand digital rendition of political intrigue and strategic warfare across Westeros. It captures the essence of plotting alliances and maneuvers for the Iron Throne - especially rewarding when you’re negotiating with friends rather than with AI. ✅ Pros: - The core strategy and depth of the tabletop version translate well: resources feel scarce, decisions matter, and diplomacy can tip the scales decisively. - The tutorial clears the bar steep learning…

neutral · AI labelView post →The board game is great, but the digital version is really buggy and no longer maintained. E.g. I bought a DLC where you draw cards with objectives - but unfortunately, the text on the cards is no longer displayed, making the DLC completely unplayable. Even for the base game, some things are not displayed correctly and the game sometimes gets stuck in an error state (e.g. it is possible for units of two different players to end up in the same region, which should not be possible).

neutral · AI labelView post →great game but legit question for the developers. How dificult it is to fix the bugs? Its like you made it and then stopped caring .the game requires 3hours of our time and often bugs and ends up as a complete waste of time. Such a pitty cause other than that it would be amazing
