Reigns: Game of Thrones, developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital and Big Fan Games, takes the deceptively simple swiping mechanic of the Reigns series and marries it to the intricate political intrigue of Westeros. It’s an unexpected fusion that works better than one might expect, transforming the act of choosing between two cards into a surprisingly nuanced exploration of leadership, consequence, and survival. At its core, the game asks players to rule as one of several key figures from the Game of Thrones universe—Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, and others—each with their own goals, challenges, and potential fates. Through Melisandre’s prophetic visions, the player steps into alternate versions of these rulers’ destinies, exploring what might have happened if the Iron Throne had fallen to a different claimant. This framing allows the game to weave a collection of “what if” scenarios that feel both canonical and inventive, making each run distinct in tone and moral flavor. The foundation of the experience remains elegantly minimalistic. Players interact through a series of binary choices—swiping left or right—to decide the outcomes of political, military, religious, and economic dilemmas. Every decision alters the balance of four vital resources: the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Allowing any one of these to become too powerful or too weak spells doom for your reign, ensuring that death is not just inevitable but frequent. What makes Reigns: Game of Thrones compelling is how it translates the political and moral turmoil of Westeros into this stripped-down format. Each card you encounter carries narrative weight—alliances can be forged or broken with a flick, wars can erupt through a careless promise, and executions can happen for the sake of stability. The game’s brevity becomes its strength; instead of long, drawn-out decisions, players make rapid judgments that mirror the unpredictable and brutal rhythm of rule in George R. R. Martin’s world. The writing is sharp, witty, and surprisingly economical given the constraints of its format. Dialogue snippets capture the essence of each character with uncanny precision—Tyrion’s sardonic pragmatism, Daenerys’s moral struggle between mercy and dominance, Sansa’s emerging political poise—all are rendered through short exchanges that retain the essence of their personalities. There’s a dark humor that runs through the game, echoing the tone of both the novels and the series, and a self-awareness that keeps the experience engaging even after multiple playthroughs. Despite its minimalist interface, the narrative richness comes from the interplay between choice and consequence. Every ruler’s reign feels like a parable about power—some ascend through diplomacy, others through fire and blood—but all eventually fall victim to the shifting currents of fate, rebellion, or their own decisions. This constant cycle of rise and ruin captures the fatalism at the heart of Game of Thrones better than many larger, more cinematic adaptations have managed. Visually, the game retains Nerial’s trademark art style: stylized, geometric portraits against muted backdrops, creating a stark and iconic presentation. This simplicity keeps the focus on the decisions rather than the spectacle. Still, the art direction succeeds in evoking the atmosphere of Westeros through subtle detail—the cold austerity of the North, the sunlit vibrancy of Essos, and the shadowy corridors of King’s Landing all come alive in abstract form. The soundtrack, featuring Ramin Djawadi’s familiar musical motifs, reinforces the mood with grandeur that contrasts the otherwise minimalist visuals. Every encounter, whether with a scheming courtier or an advancing army, feels underscored by that haunting sense of foreboding that defines the franchise. It’s a world constantly teetering between order and collapse, and the sparse presentation only magnifies that tension. The structure of Reigns: Game of Thrones encourages experimentation. Each run begins and ends quickly, but knowledge gained from previous playthroughs carries forward, unlocking new dialogue options, events, and rulers. The game’s design rewards curiosity and persistence, inviting players to test the limits of each character’s moral and political philosophy. Yet, the repetition that naturally arises from this system can also become its main weakness. After several reigns, patterns emerge, and certain choices start to feel mechanical rather than meaningful. Some rulers share overlapping event pools, and while their flavor texts differ, the underlying mechanics remain similar. This can make later playthroughs feel more about optimization than discovery, diluting the initial sense of unpredictability. However, the game’s charm lies in its acceptance of impermanence—it’s not about achieving perfect stability but about seeing how long you can stave off chaos before the inevitable collapse. Despite its limited scope, the game does an impressive job of capturing the essence of Westeros’s politics and moral complexity. There’s no definitive victory in Reigns: Game of Thrones, only cycles of fragile peace, betrayal, and rebirth. Each new monarch inherits the ashes of the last, and the world resets in a way that reflects the futility of trying to impose lasting order on a realm built on power and fear. It’s a clever commentary on both the Game of Thrones mythos and the cyclical design of the Reigns series itself. Where most adaptations of the franchise have aimed for epic scale, this one succeeds by embracing reduction—it distills the series’ core themes into a format that’s quick, addictive, and endlessly replayable. Reigns: Game of Thrones ultimately thrives because of its intelligence and restraint. It doesn’t attempt to recreate battles or cinematic moments; instead, it focuses on the psychology of leadership and the delicate balancing act of ruling a divided kingdom. It’s as much a meditation on power as it is a game about survival, turning each brief reign into a story of hubris, luck, and human limitation. For fans of the franchise, it offers a fresh and surprisingly introspective perspective on familiar characters. For newcomers, it provides an accessible and addictive entry point into the world’s political intrigue. It may not carry the grandeur of its television counterpart, but it captures the soul of the story—where every choice, however small, can bring a kingdom to glory or ruin. Rating: 7/10

So, this was an interesting experience. I finished the game, but it wasn't without some frustration. What is nice about the game is, for such a low price, I still got something like 20 hours of gameplay out of it. I had to restart the game at some point but still. You create the story as you go and unlock different rulers by doing certain actions. Which is pretty fun. Unfortunatly, I wanted to see the end but the gameplay loop got a bit repetitive at some point. Also, some choices seemed to not matter at all and the game is still pretty luck based for certain events to happen. You should still give it a try if you have a few bucks to spare. 7/10

Reigns: Game of Thrones is an interesting adaptation of a licensed property into the Reigns swipe-left and swipe-right way of ruling a kingdom. The gameplay has depth. I like the translation of returning characters to this simplistic art style, and they bring some good music tracks with them. I frankly prefer Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty, but feel free to start here if you're new to the game series and are a fan of GoT. Rulers tend to die fast and the characterization of people is somewhat poorly written, but it is fun in short bursts.
