The Game of Thrones Board Game is Actually Pretty Fun

Buy It Here

Just like video games based on movies, I've always felt some aversion to boardgames based on other existing properties. There are exceptions: the Battlestar Galactica boardgame, Dune, and this, the Game of Thrones Boardgame. 

I recently played this with some friends and was surprised with the exceedingly clever combat mechanic where you must plan your movements in advance (openly, with some methods of subversion) and everyone takes their turn at the same time. This means you have to anticipate what your opponent will do and take the necessary steps, all while trying to accomplish your own goals.

The Boardgame does not contain any spoilers other than the fact that some characters exist. If you have finished the first book or the first season, you're golden. No spoilers for you. For this reason, I recommend this game to any fan of Game of Thrones.

Season 4 Trailer #4: The Devil

So this trailer has less action than the previous one, but considerably more character interaction. We see Brienne promising Jaime to find Arya Stark. We see Jaime and Cercei's relationship deteriorating (though I think they are about to have sex at the end of the trailer). We also get to see Dany laying siege to what I think is Meereen.

Breaking: Martin Actually Chooses To Write

In a recent interview, George RR Martin state that he and HBO had conspired to aid his own well known procrastinatory proclivities with a cameo in this coming season.  Luckily, Martin awoke from his pizza-induced fever dreams and realized he had a book to write, The Winds Of Winter, and that, no, he did not have time to fly to Croatia and stroke his own ego on the set of The Game Of Thrones.

Game Of Thrones Movie Possible, Says George RR Martin

A Song Of Ice And Fire author, who is probably just trying to find new reasons not to write, decrepit old procrastinator that he is, has stated that HBO executives are thinking of making a high budget movie to wrap up the series when the time comes. For anyone who has been disappointed by the budget-conscious treatment of some of the book's more epic battles, the prospect of seeing Martin's story come to life on the big screen with lord-of-the-rings-level visuals is exciting indeed.
Of course,  it is not clear whether the movie would be released in theaters, or simply shown on HBO like other HBO original movies.

Yet Another Season 4 Trailer, The Most Action-Packed Yet!

So how about that army? Eh? And those dragons, and the arrow-shooting.

Readers Worried That Season 4 Will Be The Last Interesting Season

It is no secret among readers that A Storm Of Swords, the third book in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, is not only one of the best in the series, but certain the most action-packed. A Feast For Crows, the fourth book, sees some of the more interesting character's drop completely off the radar, while other less-interesting characters, like Brienne, take up the slack. This was because Martin split the story up, with A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons taking place at the same time. Presumably, the show's creators will combine the books, which, together, have at least two season's worth of content.

But readers are worried that A Feast for Crows and A Dance With Dragons will make for dull television. Some characters, like Dany, do not develop as quickly as some readers would like. Other's, like Arya, do develop, but are taken away from the main action.

Whatever happens, the Game of Thrones writers have their work cut out for them in the coming seasons.
