The Brothers of the Night's Watch need a new Lord Commander, and the one who builds up the Gift best gets the job. A Game of Thrones Catan: Brotherhood of the Watch is based on the classic Catan base game, 2017 edition, with the setting moved to the land south of the Wall. Each area of the Gift produces one of five resources, and you trade, build and expand while also manning the Wall against the Wildlings pressing from the north. Only one brother rises above the rest. If you like Catan and know the books or the show, it is a familiar game with a harsher edge and a clear, cold goal.

Who it's for

You like Catan, you know Westeros, and you have three or four people ready to haggle and glare at each other.

Not for you if…

You want a new design or you cannot stand dice-driven trading. It plays like Catan with a different skin.

Vibe's take

Familiar Catan haggling with a chill in the air. You trade, groan at the dice and keep one eye on the Wall.
