Reigns: Game of Thrones

How will you rule Westeros – and as whom? Tap to learn more.

Two of our favourite things unite in Reigns: Game of Thrones, hurling you into an epic, darkly funny struggle for survival.

Like previous swipe-based narrative games Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty, this sequel puts you in a seat of power – in this case, the coveted Iron Throne. You’ll play as Sansa Stark, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister and other beloved characters from the hit TV series as you strive to maintain rule as long as possible.

Whether Queen Daenerys is benevolent or malevolent is entirely up to you.

As subjects present all manner of requests, you swipe left or right to make royal decrees. Will you attack rival kingdoms or propose peace? Feed the poor or give the food to royal hounds? Rebuild the Great Sept of Baelor or leave it in ruins?

Choose wisely, great leader! In addition to steering the plot, your actions affect the well-being of the people, the military, the treasury, and the High Septon – and if you disappoint them or empower them against you, they’ll end your reign in a pool of wildfire.

Mini-games like this battlefield clash add a dash of action.

The game’s clever premise (it’s all a vision of the red sorceress, Melisandre!) sets up a story where anything can happen – including strange marriages or alliances – without breaking canon. Your journey will whisk you from the battlefield to the tavern, and you’ll encounter a host of familiar faces along the way, including Ser Jaime Lannister, Night’s Watch steward Samwell Tarly and the mighty Drogon.

Will you end up on the back of that hulking dragon? Felled by a dreaded White Walker? It’s your destiny. Come forth and shape it!
