Game of Thrones edition of Monopoly launched

HBO announces special Game of Thrones edition of Monopoly for players to divide and conquer blood-soaked lands from the popular TV show

Winter is coming. Get your houses prepped, your hotels built and your lands in order - Game of Thrones Monopoly is almost here.

The perennial property game that either annoys or excites legions every Christmas with its almost endless toil of collecting rent and fighting off the housing inspector, is getting a very blood thirsty spin.
