Reigns: Game of Thrones

Sit on the Iron Throne

View

In Reigns: Game of Thrones, you’re not just one ruler—you’re all of them. And that’s good news for fans of Game of Thrones, a series with a kingdom’s worth of popular characters. Here’s a sampling of the royal boots you’ll fill while sitting on the Iron Throne.

Moments like these really convey Daenerys’ connection to the people.

A steely survivor

Start off as Daenerys Targaryen—a confident queen backed by helpful allies (like Tyrion and Jon Snow) who offer sage advice. Like every ruler, she juggles the needs of her subjects, her armies, the treasury, and the High Septon. But her dragons give her a key advantage in the combat mini-game, where they can be used to clear the battlefield.

In this universe, Tyrion knows his smarts are a strength and a liability.

Witty and wise

Good news for Lannister buffs: Tyrion is also one of the game’s playable rulers. And whether he’s making pithy banter with brother Jaime or poking fun at his own military, he’s a perfect fit for Reigns’ trademark snark. Franchise fans will delight in watching him actually become king.

Samwell Tarly serves as Jon's faithful aid—and a voice of reason.

The conscientious commander

As Jon Snow, you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders—but it’s empowering, not disabling. As portrayed in the HBO series, Jon takes his responsibility seriously. So it seems perfectly natural that he’d head north to help sister Sansa, play hardball with the Greyjoys, or donate extra food to poor locals.

When you’re as dangerous as Arya, of course you hold the throne for a while.

Driven to succeed

We won’t reveal exactly how Arya Stark comes to power in Reigns: Game of Thrones, except to say how satisfying it is. As you’d expect, this able assassin isn’t afraid to make harsh decrees—but as with everyone, you can play her in a more benevolent fashion if you choose. Arya’s encounters with old friends present some of the game’s best fan service and offer some genuine surprises.
