Territorial acquisition game

The Game of Thrones

This board game is based on the books and TV series: Game of Thrones. In this game the players are trying to conquer the 7 kingdoms and be the ruler of all the lands in Westeros.

Each player starts with a house(Eg: House Stark, House Lannister, etc) and roles a 1D6 die to see which kingdom they start off with on the board which is the map of Westeros. The players navigate through the board, which is the map of westeros with their game pieces and need to mark all their territories with their house game piece. The number of spaces a player can move is decided by the roll of a die. The player can choose to move any of their game piece on the board.

The players need to collect resources like soldiers, ships, farmers, etc to widen their territories and need to survive in the game. Once the player lands on another players territory, they need to create an alliance or declare war on that player.

If the players choose an alliance, they need to resolve this conflict with a war at the end before claiming the final kingdom. The player with the larger army and stats wins the conflict. If another player attacks one of the players who is part of an  alliance and wins then the other player in the alliance can also help, but if the alliance loose then both the players in the alliance loose and the other player is the new ruler. When a player looses, they need to give all their resources to the winning player and all their game pieces will be replaced by the winning player.

The players can also choose to trade in the game on their turn even with an opponent player. The trade must be agreed by everyone involved in it.

The game fails when all the players decide to choose an alliance, as there is no further progress in defeating and claiming the other kingdoms and the game comes to an end.

The targeted audience for this game is 10+ years as it is designed to be a family board game but
