Kickstarter "Projects We Love" ^ | Aug 10, 2017

TOPICS: Hobbies; Music/Entertainment; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: asongoficefire; gameofthrones; got; lannisters; starks
This is estimated for delivery around April 2018, and I thought many people will be interested in this.
So just click on it for more details.
There's many more additions that they are planning to offer, and it really could take up a large room with all the add-ons.

It really does look like it might be a fun thing to do on a weekend.

Some do, especially military overseas in a remote location.

That looks really expensive, $150 for the starter set.

Diplomacy remains the best strategy game ever made.

Once you get a character developed, they automatically die?

Several Thrones threads from the past few days if anyone cares to scan thru them.

There’s already a game of thrones board game. An official one I believe. It’s really good. 6 players.

At first I liked GOT, but there was too much sex. It got boring— made it clear that porn can just be a filler.

You didn’t stay with it long enough.
This week’s 20 minute battle episode was outstanding.

Yup, either old sets on eBay or vintage replicas of classics like Stratego, Risk, Clue, Battleship and Life. Gets my kids off a screen for a bit.

This item is really a table-top miniature game starter set.

Yes, there is already a freaking outstanding board game. I hope that I get to play it again on Saturday.

I was a big board gamer in my younger years.
The most “vicious” and cut-throat game I ever played was “Noble House”, based on the novel of the same name by James Clavell, about the Tai-Pans of Hong Kong.

I doubt this thrones game can come anywhere close to that.

What, is that some sort of dwarf joke?
