I can't say enough good things about this board game. It is the best "war and strategy" board game I have played up to this point. It really feels like the game that Risk should have been, but the Game of Thrones theme tops the cake on this board game. I love how great all the artwork is and how easy it is to make allies and back stab each other in the game. The hidden action mechanic is the best and I haven't seen anything like it before I played this game. Very very very fun and I hope to get in more game time with this one.
