The best & most complex board game that there are

George RR Martin's Game of Thrones world (or A Song of Ice and Fire or A Song of Ice and Fire) has it I'm angetan.Nachdem randomly on the first season of the HBO series Game of Thrones tripped me literally, I was of the world with its power houses, the historic, medieval-tinged setting with all its characters and intrigues so excited that I initially the first three German volumes (The Lords of Winterfell, The legacy of Winterfell and the throne of the Seven Kingdoms) and me English first four volumes have bought as a special offer to see some more of the fantastic world. All this has made me even more curious and eventually I found the board game of Thrones by Fantasy Flight Games and have to say it's just gorgeous!

What is at stake in the game?
King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the noble houses of the country prepare for war of succession. House Lannister, from Roberts wife Cersei comes, claims the throne for her son Joffrey. From his abode on the island of Dragonstone makes Roberts's younger brother his rightful claim to the kingship claims. House Greyjoy prepared by the Iron Islands from a new rebellion before. In the north, House Stark pulls together his troops to fight for justice and law. In the South House Tyrell feeds to climb its ancient desire the Iron Throne, and also the determination and the thirst for revenge of House Martell may be underestimated by any other house. However, while the noble houses fight among themselves, moving from beyond the wall in the far north zoom a storm that threatens to engulf everything. (Source: Amazon.com)

My Impression:
After reading us felt three hours the rules very extensive and probably understood everything, we drew lots from the four houses and so have the houses Lannister, Stark, Baratheon and Greyjoy (in total there are six houses incl. Tyrell and Martell) among us divided. After we placed all units, the supply and impact points were distributed, it went off.
One has to observe in each of the 10 rounds of various criteria and to perform tasks. For example, there the Westeros, on which it is inter alia to recruitment, which new units can be excavated or feral attack is imminent before it goes to plan and execute battles and conquests.
Here you will quickly find that you can not get very far without the forging of alliances. These alliances must be nurtured. Or not ;-).
The aim is either to conquer seven castles or fortresses or to survive the ten rounds successfully and then to have as many castles and fortresses.
Sounds easy, but it is not at all. The game is similar to the classic risk, but it has a lot more strategic and complex depth that I like very well and leads to a game ever can take three to four hours, just great!

Processing of the Game:
Overall, the game is well made, has a lot of accessories and is very detailed. Only the not quite common language on the board is worth mentioning. So are the houses all names in English (Greyjoy instead Grey Freud) and the territories are times English and German times, but this is not really bad, and does not adversely affect the gameplay.
My Conclusion:
I think I still played not so complex and good game and can call my own like George RR Martin's A GAME OF THRONES. If one has once familiarized with the rules makes this game great fun, whether you know the world of Westeros or not.
I can put this board game to anyone (Brettspiel-) and Game of Thrones fan only to the heart. The nearly 40 euros are here definitely very well spent!
