The biggest change to classic risk is the introduction of gold as a resource. At the beginning of a players turn, the player will gain additional armies and gold, based on the number of territories occupied. Additionally, some territories contain castles and/or ports, which give bonus armies and gold, respectively. Gold can be spent at the beginning of your turn to buy Objective cards or Maester cards. Objective cards are just what they sound like - accomplish the mission described by the card, and you are awarded points toward winning the game. Maester cards give you access to a random one-use ability which requires additional gold to use. Some are during your own turn but others can be used during your opponents. The cards have a wide variety of offensive and defensive uses, and can dramatically alter the course of you or your opponents turn. These are a great addition as new strategic options are presented, and the game becomes very dynamic. Power will shift between players quickly with a well timed card. Fans of the show will love how thematic the cards are, as their abilities make some great references that are very much in the spirit of GoT. One player might plan an invasion only to have it derailed by a wedding between the players houses, or a defection of traitorous armies to the opposing player. There were multiple instances during our games where several players were cackling with delight at thwarting an enemies best-laid plans with the perfect card.
On top of these one-time use Maester cards, each player controls a House modeled after those in the source material. Each house has 4 character cards which provide abilities that may be used once per turn by spending gold. The abilities are themed to match their characters. For example, Davos Seaworth is a character for House Baratheon whose naval skill gives a bonus in battles involving a sea port. It's a nice touch that gives each army a slightly different flavor. These differences aren't so drastic as to upset game balance, but rather just add a bit of variety to offer differing playstyles.
Long time Risk players will notice that armies are much smaller in this version than in classic Risk, and this is an undeniably good thing. Gone are the days of 45 unit armies squaring off for ten minutes of dice rolling attrition. The smaller armies can be upgraded to pack a stronger punch by way of tokens which allow to to add +1 to your die roll or exchange a 6-sided die for an 8-sided one, for example. Having more concentrated armies helps speed the game up without sacrificing the satisfaction of fielding or facing a powerful army. Additionally having smaller armies makes it much more difficult to "hole up" in a corner of the map and play too defensively. This is made even more true by the addition of Ports to some territories. Ports of matching colors can invade one another as if they were adjacent, meaning players separated geographically can still fight if they are connected by the sea.
From a manufacturing standpoint, all game pieces are of a very high quality. The two boards, Westeros and Essos, are beautiful, accurate maps. The game pieces themselves are very nicely detailed (particularly the Baratheon Stags, although I fear some may lost some antlers in the future). All of the cards have a high quality print, with high definition character photos.
I have one minor quibble with the game, and that is the invention of "House Ghiscari" as one of the playable factions. Other houses are Targaryen, Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell, and Martell. Ghiscari was created using several (very) minor characters to give an oppositional force to the Targaryens on the continent of Essos for 2-person games, or for 6-7 player games which involve using both boards at once (!). Simply put, as a book or show fan this "House" is pretty lame. The combined screen time of all four of your characters is less than most individual major characters. I understand why they made the decision to create them, but they are definitely the least exciting faction to control from a thematic standpoint.
As I mentioned before, I have only played this with 2-3 players. The 3 person games took about 3 hours to complete. Game length is certain to increase with the number of players, especially if several are unfamiliar with the rules. Being familiar with the basic Risk rules will expedite learning, but there is some adjusting to be done with the new rule additions. I suggest playing with the Objective cards that give Victory points rather than playing until all but one player is eliminated, so that you don't end up with a bunch of friends sitting around for an hour while two players duke it out to the finish. One thoughtful rule change was to provide small bonuses to players whose turn comes 3rd or later (such as some starting gold) so that they aren't helpless, watching all of the other players smash them to pieces before they even get their first turn. I thought this was a very clever way of leveling the playing field.
Overall, I would highly recommend this game for Risk fans. You don't have to be an avid GoT fan to enjoy it, but being familiar with it will absolutely enhance your experience as you understand all of the references.
Anyway on to the review...
The game came in your standard Amazon packaging (a nice box that taped up well) with those airbags that are loud when you pop them. That was all it though so in a worst case scenario there wouldn't be much protection to keep it in good condition but mine came out just fine. The game box had very very minor damage in a couple corners but I'm ok with it since you shouldn't expect items you order online to be 200% perfectly fine when they arrive.
I opened up to check and see if all the contents were there and I was surprised to see only 4 card decks. At that point I was afraid that I was missing some cards but I opened the wrapper and sure enough they were all there *sigh of relief*. I checked for the game pieces (1 castle, 15 sigil pieces, and 30 soldier pieces) and dice (5 6-sided dice, and 4 8-sided dice) as well, and everything was intact and nothing was missing.
The quality of the the game is decent at best. The cards are thin and feel like they could easily be damaged if not careful, same go with the player mats. The game boards feel like monopoly quality boards so be careful when putting it away. As for the map designs, they're very nice and nice to look at. The game pieces are small plastic pieces that are finely crafted. Each army has its own rectangular plastic container to keep them together. My only complaint with the army pieces is that the tyrell (green) and the stark (greyish-white) army pieces are similar in color or at least they appear that way in poor lighting, this could be a problem because you could get pieces mixed up but you shouldn't really have to worry about this problem if you're in a well lighted area.
I haven't played the game yet, I'm still trying to memorize the rules but I know from other people that they enjoyed this game very much and they said you'll enjoy it even more if you're a GoT fan.
I'm very satisfied with this product and I'm relieved that everything was in there. In case you guys are wondering I ordered from USAopoly and most of those bad reviews were actually from customers who ordered from USAopoly as well. I guess you just have to hope that you don't get unlucky when ordering one of these. I also noticed that some of the bad reviews were from 1-2 years ago so maybe by now USAopoly got their sh*t together.
Anyway I hope you guys found this helpful in some way and best of luck when ordering one of these babies 😀

In dominion you get to use some of the characters from the show, it includes 7 of the main houses/families in the show. It ranges from the Starks to the Martells. Another really cool thing is it includes two maps, Essos and Westeros, which are part of the GOT world. Each map is used in different occasions, depending on how many people you have playing. I've gotten the chance to play with just two people which takes place on Essos, and it works wonderfully and it engages you through adding a lot more depth to game with gold and maester cards(which truly change the game).
Also, if you have more than six players you can actually combine the two maps and get a world at war game going. It is hectic but s lot of fun trying to take over the territories across two physical lands. I've gotten the chance to play this and it is truly a great iteration of a classic game.
In the end, if you enjoy Risk this edition adds a new depth by adding characters you wouldn't regularly have. If you're a fan of the show and have never played Risk, pick this up, Risk is a lot fun and involves deep strategy. If you like both Risk and GOT, this is a must have.

Lo interesante de esta edición y lo que lo hace único es que posée 2 tableros para jugar, en donde el primero esta diseñado para partidas de 2 jugadores, el segundo tablero para jugar de 3 a 5 jugadores, y la unión de los dos tableros permite que jueguen de 6 a 7 contrincantes. Otro aspecto es el que incluye tres modos de juego: el básico y más sencillo de jugar recomendado para los que juegan por primera vez este juego llamado skarmish o escaramuza, en donde gana el jugador que obtiene el mayor número de territorios, en donde a diferencia del risk clásico hay una tarjeta especial la cuál indica que el juego ha terminado al momento que le sale a algún jugador, y los jugadores hacen recuento de sus territorios.
El segundo modo es dominio, en el cuál se siguen las reglas básicas del modo anterior, pero la diferencia es que se hace uso de las tarjetas de los personajes con habilidades especiales, también de tarjetas de misiones secretas, y la compra de fortalezas y armas para proteger y atacar durante las batallas, adquiriendo todo con monedas que se van ganando durante el juego. En este segundo modo de juego gana el jugador que tiene el control por así decirlo de su cuartel general o capital, y que logre acumular primero 10 puntos o en su caso tenga el control de todos los territorios. Y el tercer modo de juego es el se guerra mundial, el cuál es solamente para 6 y 7 jugadores y se hace uso de los dos tableros.
La calidad de los componentes del juego es buena, los tableros y las piezas de plástico son resistentes, las tarjetas a mi punto de vista me parecen algo delgadas, por lo que recomiendo comprarles micas para protegerlas y se conserven más tiempo.
Excelente juego de estrategia con varias modalidades, en donde es importante considerar el tiempo para jugarlo, ya que puede llegar a ser de muy larga duración.
Also wenn das Geld und die Haltbarkeit keine Rolle spielen ist es zu empfehlen.
I've played the Westeros board with a group of friends a couple times now (and we are all huge GoT fans) and tomorrow I'm going to try the 2-player Essos board with a friend of mine so I'll get to see how that game differs from the 3-5 player Westeros side. I'm happy there is a 2-player version as well for when all your friends can't always get together at the same time.
The price is steep, I'll admit, but well worth it for any big GoT fans who are looking for a fun game night idea, you will not be disappointed. And like I said, you are getting quality, not some cheaply made tacky dime store shelf product. It may be twice the price you'd spend on the original Risk, but I promise you GoT fans, it's 10 times the fun. Glad I purchased this!
