Thought Monopoly Was Cut Throat? Try the Game of Thrones Version!

That's right people, the board game responsible for more family fall outs than... well Game of Thrones, is getting a new Westeros variant as players vie for the Iron Throne through tricks and trade.
According to Viral Shack, the new Game of Thrones themed Monopoly game will be seeing a release later this year. The familiar locations of the traditional Monopoly board are getting replaced with Castle Black and King's Landing, players will guide Three-Eyed Ravens, Dire wolves and White Walkers around, while villages and Keeps replace the usual houses and hotels.
Images of the game have been appearing on the Game of Thrones Twitter feed. Each post links us back to the HBO online shop, so we can probably expect to see it appear here along with all manner of other Game of Thrones memorabilia.
It seems almost everything has been turned into a Monopoly board now, from Pokemon and Star Wars to Kent, U.K. It was only a matter of time before Westeros also joined the Monopoly and it will be fun to see how the famously blood thirsty series changes gameplay.
Think you will gather your family round for a game of Game of Thrones Monopoly?

Finger is the good option 😛
Monopoly is the game that seems to convince so many that boardgames are boring. After a while you realise the game involves no skill or player choice beyond ‘can I afford this’ and even then not buying something is always the bad move. You do not play monopoly, the game plays you. Experience of the game was the hardest thing to overcome when I try to get new people to try one of the great boardgames out there. Makes me sad that there will be many a potential gamer that will be put off after a 5 hour dice rolling… Read more »
I loved Monopoly as a kid, it still holds some nostalgia but even I wont try to argue that its a decent game because it just isnt. There are reason this game is known to cause arguments.
