Reigns: Game of Thrones – Card Game Review
Reigns: Game of Thrones is a Card/Adventure game from Devolver Digital, Inc., first launched in 18th October 2018.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 10,301+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Reigns: Game of Thrones Stand Out
Reigns: Game of Thrones is the heir to the award-winning HBO® TV series Game of Thrones® and the smash-hit swipe ‘em up series Reigns from Nerial and Devolver Digital. Through the fiery visions of Melisandre, claim the Iron Throne as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and more to carefully navigate the complex relationships and hostile factions of the Seven Kingdoms. Employ ruthless tactics to outwit political rivals and wield impervious charm on your fickle bannerman. Maintain the balance and favor of the people to extend your reign and maybe, one day, survive the horrors of the coming winter.
A Formidable Cast: Rule from the Iron Throne as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, and more. Change between each king and queen you unlock to face challenges and mysteries unique to their story.
Impose Your Will: Swipe left or right to change the fate of the Seven Kingdoms forever as you hear the impassioned pleas and unpredictable demands from the people of Westeros. If a particular character becomes bothersome, tear their card in half to unburden Your Majesty with their concerns – but at what cost?
Reenvision Westeros: Melisandre’s visions are your playing field and extend beyond the TV series to imagine the many fates of those that would sit upon the Iron Throne. Rebuild the Great Sept of Baelor as Cersei or discover the path of the Seven Kingdoms if Sansa Stark had married Jaime Lannister.
Regal Mini Games: Even the most powerful rulers need to set aside their worries and partake in more trivial matters now and then. From jousting to tavern brawls, these distractions aren’t without consequence!
A Grander Reigns: Fans of the Reigns series will be delighted with the biggest, deepest entry in the series that does not simply retell the stories you know but rather lets you create new adventures at your whim.
Iconic Soundtrack: Decide the fate of Westeros and those that reside in your land to the soaring score of the HBO series by Ramin Djawadi.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We started to play this game and we like its amazing and we need to tell our friends to play this game because its absolutely stunning and cool background.
This game is a lot of fun. The game of thrones edition is the best.
We have to say this isnt a bad game we wish ot was different in some ways without the bars and having to balance them tho.
The mechanics are as simple as you can get, swipe left or right, but the longer you work with this game the more depth you find. Exactly how something meant to pass the time should be, and with no ads or hidden feeds, progression blocks ect. Pay once, get the whole thing. Lovely.
Im loving this game so much. Its super hard to stay alive for more than 30 days, but we cant stop playing it.
When house of the dragon drops, we hope we get another rendition of Reigns GOT.
We didnt know how fun this game would be.
Itll be a little confusing if you arent aware of locations and terms, but you can arch on a bit.
Its a good time that is non-canon from what we assume. Its well done.
Realize the app is a bit old, but its a fast and entertaining distraction.
Super fun, though you can tell they just ripped the game Nirvana. But we prefer this version anyways.
Fun but should have more longevity each play through.
A wonderful Rendition of the classic reign experience BUT why can you keep Repeating monarchs even after theyve died.
Great game with lot of content definitely improved from the first game.
You never know the outcome. We love it.
A good game to play to pass the time.
Our duties of the seven kingdoms come in many strides, but fear not men for we are the true king among the men of blades. Rally your banners with us and download this game! And maybe one day… You can be king.
Enjoying this game, so glad we found it! Making our own ending.
This game is legit! We already love the reigns games, and in our opinion this is the best one! Easy to pick up and play, and you dont have to know anything about GoT to understand the story. Ive not watched or read or played any of the other novella of Westros (other than the Apple Arcade game), and yet we still know the characters and theyre place, who they are, and what theyve done. Obviously there is not as much depth in this as the show or book, but for a game where you swipe right or left to try not to die, its incredible! Its pretty easy to die in this game, which we guess is similar to the show (dont most of the main characters die?), so when you last many moons you feel like a champ. 5/5 would recommend this game to anyone, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other thing that separates. This really does appeal to everyone. All of these games do (worth every penny, by far, best paid mobile game in its class).
Love it :D would also 1000000% recommend Reigns (the original) if anything its even better!! Money WELL spent.
Incredibly detailed and researched in George R. R. Martins world, fans of the show wont just love it, but fans of the books as well.
First of all, really well made game. Simple mechanics, challenging, and very engaging story. More importantly, this game has unexpectedly been helping us quit smoking! Every time we feel the urge to smoke, we open up a game of reign and it distracts us long enough for the urges to pass.
We love the game but there are some small bugs that can kill you. If you go onto the wall it blocks the meters for the rest of the game, even after beating the white walkers. The faith militant card will appear multiple times in a row (3 in a row for us, leading to death by religion).
Revisit Westeros with ur choice of leader. Each one has different approach of beating the game. Addiction ascertain for GOT fan, for the night is dark and full of terror.
Fun A++++++++ cool games diff every time.
This fame looks plays and is awsome.
Reigns: Game of Thrones is a great game. We only have one problem with it, when you go to the wall you are unable to see any of your stats making it nearly impossible to survive. We would very much appreciate it if you could fix this.
Really enjoying this game. A lot of different outcomes.
A vast improvement from the Original Reigns, more grabbing and full of better content, just wish there were more characters to play as, like Stannis, Renly, or Margery.
There is always something new with each play. Love it.
The game is really great and we love everything about it except for a few things. First off we would like to add how we love that when you open the game and it is on the title, the theme song starts playing. Every time we let it play until it ends and pretend that it is a new episode about to happen. But back to the recommendations, we would really appreciate if we could see who were our allies, enemies, and how many wars we have going on? That seems all for now. But thanks for this great game so far.
Its a easy to play relaxing game a one gander time killer your reading and thinking so thats a plus well done sirs.
Fun and challenging game with more interesting lore and better continuity than season 8 of the show. Some references to lore such as the butterfly fever from Naath that the show kind of forgot about. The attention to detail is appreciated, especially after the show failed to deliver.
We like that you can change your character and move places in the game.
Seriously, just play this game and you can have a fan fiction that is more accurate than what happened in season 8.
This game if super fun download now.
It was not what we expected but we ended up loving it.
Not what we were expecting. A game of life changing decisions.
Ive spent hours playing its great fun. If you watch game of thrones you will love it. Im hopeful that they add cards for the end of season 8.
This is a great game and worth the money the only problems being that a few glitches have found their way into the game after the recent update. Lastly we think you should add the night king as a ruler and change the rest of the court to wights for him. All in all its a great game but could use some tweaking.
This game is fantastic. Its fun, its quick, its easy to play again and again to try out different approaches or just to see what random cards come up that change the timing or nature of the various stories. The way they blended the Reigns gameplay mechanics with GoT themes is simply perfect, perhaps with a few exceptions which seem to affect mostly one character and we think and attributable to bugs rather than gameplay. For specific bugs see below but beware there are spoilers. It seems the most recent update brought some issues with playing Cersei and seem to pop up only after you unlock all the characters and open up the win conditions. The big one relates to the end of winter or rather the lack thereof. After youve beaten the white walkers and the summer card shows up, winter still does not end. This happens regardless of whether you regroup in the capitol or march on winterfell. The winter hud stays, the extra impact on on population decision stays, and the white walkers still attack and this time you cannot use your win condition. They just kill you. The other bug is Arya playing the game of faces with Cersei. In her final question she asks Cersei if Cerseis children are hers. Thats a bit confusing. But the bigger issue seems to be that after she plays the game if faces, Arya sticks around court and you can use her to do things like pacify the Tyrells land. This one isnt as bad as the other one but its just weird and probably not intentional. Hope these get fixed soon but definitely still loving this game.
Very fun to play. Not easy to beat so its decently worth the 4 dollars. 9 playable people, you unlock each one by reaching a certain point with the other characters. Not just a game that takes 2 hours to beat.
We really love the different paths for different characters. Tbh Im only writing this review because it was a built in we game option and we loled.
We love GoT and this game is a perfect example as to how you would like to see your favorite characters act as if they were king or queen.
Anyway we can get our money back??? The game concept is great yet its nigh impossible to survive the summer, art is absolutely terrible, and names are fake we mean would it hurt to hire someone for actually good art. If your going to charge $4 then you might as well put more effort into the game. Not a 1 Star because it has great potential its just not worth paying for.
Yeah. Just doing this cause it asked us to in game.
Loved this game before the GOT theme- even better with the Wall.
We enjoy the play and story driven twists.
Lots of decisions to be made and theorys to play out about all our fav characters from the show.
It's a lot of fun and is faithful to the source material.
