Game of Thrones Monopoly is finally here and it’s time to go to battle for the Iron Throne

Ready to rule the Seven Kingdoms?

There’s not too long left to go until Game of Thrones’ final season hits our telly screens.

From Penneys’ Westerosi homeware and pyjama range to the Urban Decay makeup collection that will have you channeling your inner Khaleesi, there’s been no shortage of Game of Thrones-inspired collections released over the last few weeks to get fans excited for season eight.

But the latest launch may be our favourite one yet.

Game of Thrones Monopoly is finally here and we’re totally ready to go to battle for the Iron Throne.

As for what fans can expect in the board game? Well, to start with, there’s none of the usual Monopoly money in sight this time around.

Instead, you use Game of Thrones inspired currency – gold dragons and silver stags – to purchase the title deeds to some of the Seven Kingdoms’ most iconic locations.

There are also no hotels or houses this time around, with this version of the game having 32 holdfasts and 12 castles

The traditional Monopoly game tokens have gotten a makeover, too, with each one inspired by the sigils of the Great Houses of Westeros.

Oh, and we forgot to mention: there’s also an Iron Throne.

Yes, that’s right: the most coveted seat in Westeros is now a card holder, which plays the Game of Thrones theme song as you play the game.

  • Game of Thrones Monopoly is available for €37.99 at Smyths
