You get random cards. Depending on what you pick one or more of your four stats go up or down. If any of them go up or down too far you die. The game ends up being: you have to memorize which options effect your stats (there is no way to really tell what direction your choice will make the stats go besides your best guess or memorizing them). Which makes the game incredible boring and tedious after a short while.

I thought this was going to be a game in which you decide how you want to rule in GoT. Unfortunately it's nothing like that. Instead this "game" involves stopping 4 bars filling all the way up or going all the way down (which is often impossible) by making decisions you don't want to make or which often just contradict the last one you made and thus make no sense. And sometimes you just die cos the game feels like …

Note: If you don't watch Game of Thrones, don't play this game, it will be a confusing mess and you will most likely be frustrated at the info the game expects you to know With that being said, this game really represents the world of Game of Thrones very well and has rewarding gameplay. If you play carefully and learn from your mistakes this game will reward you. The artwork, sound, and overall appearence is very …

What can I say? 1) Funny time-killer (I think as another “Reigns”) for GoT lovers. 2) Marvelous soundtracks (10/10). 3) Better than GoT s8 ending. :D But… 1) The developer fixes one bug - two others appear. It sucks. :( 2) Sometimes you have no choice other than reset all your progress (and sometimes game does it for you).

Critics, per Wikipedia
Reigns: Game of Thrones received "generally favourable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Pocket Gamer praised how the game used information as the main means of progression "Secrets you discover at one edge of your nascent empire might well change the way you act with people at the other. The game is littered with tiny 'eureka' moments that push the plot along and drive you towards new goals". The Guardian liked how Reigns adapted the series' political drama, "Appropriately for a game based on Game of Thrones, death is swift and frequent, and quickly forgotten... It's quick-fire diplomacy, enlivened by random disasters and constant fleeting cameos from series'…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Though on paper this seems like a great combination, the actual practicality of the Reigns mechanics doesn't mix well with established IP and characters who are already known to you. The draw of slapping GoT characters into this game would seem to be exploring interesting alternate timelines, but that's not what happens - you can scarcely play for a few minutes before you're dead and back at the menu because you wanted to go down an alt-universe rabbit hole and weren't minding your 4 meters all…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's good because it's a cross between Reigns and Game of Thrones so it's very good to play it before final season and watch every possibilities about the end ! :-) But there is a lot of little bugs and problems which they are not fixed yet so it's a problem for me because you can't unlock all achievements... Some deaths are too difficult to do (too random) and some cards never showed up so it's very frustrating for me! Developers please make a patch and fix everything like you did on your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me being a big fan of GoT, bought it and finished all 9 winters in one sitting. This game added alot of cards than most basic Unity Reigns, definitely one of the better Reigns games. If you like these casual games or are a fan of GoT i'd recommend it. The game immerses you with choices that are good or bite you in the ass. Just like real GoT. Not to mention the nice sound design and GoT soundtrack. I'd recommend this, even if you don't have a clue about GoT since it doesn't spoil alot and isn't…

This is a spin-off of another series of games with the exact same mechanics, so it naturally does yourself no favors for this to be your first time playing this sort of game, as the case is with me. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it's never clear how your actions will be taken (whether you will increase or decrease certain bars). Not only that, but when you leave for the Wall, you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A truly excellent and from what I can tell vastly underrated rendition of 'Game of Thrones' in the fun Reigns RPG character card type of game. Highly recommending it to my Targaryen group. It has many dynamic choices and outcomes, consequences and rewards, special benefits for each of the many rulers, all in the universe and style of Game of Thrones. I am excited to keep discovering more things, and it is definitely the best of the Reigns series I have played so far, made all the more enjoyable…

No wonder a year later there was a sequel "Her Majesty". After another year, a version with the subtitle "Game of Thrones" also arrived, which of course deals with the fantasy phenomenon, which many know mainly due to the serial processing. This game offers almost the last place where GoT fans can take refuge. The game has obviously been updated about the plot of the last series, so in many…
