Pic: Game of Thrones Monopoly is coming to a Kingdom near you and we really want it

This will inspire more violence than the actual show

This will inspire more violence than the actual show

JOE thinks that Irish people have a particular fondness for board games that no other country in the world can match.

This has nothing to do with the fact that an Irish weather forecast has only two default settings; 1) torrential rain and  2) dry in most places but with a likelihood of rain.

We now have another reason to stay indoors because Game of Thrones Monopoly has just been developed and we desperately want it.

This crossover makes incredible sense when you think about it. The plot of Game of Thrones is basically just a game of Monopoly as various people try desperately to rule the land as friendship, loyalty and morals go out the window.

If only the ‘Get Out Of Jail Free’ card existed in the show for Theon Greyjoy, he might actually still have his sanity and manhood intact.

The icons are incredibly cool as players will be able to choose between the following pieces: a dragon egg, a three-eyed raven, a white walker, a direwolf, a crown and the Iron Throne.

Just remember two things when playing this Westeros inspired version of Monopoly.

1) A Lannister always pays his debts and so should you, 2) there’s enough violence on the brilliant show without you and your mates resorting to beating the heads off each other over a board game.
