Everybody Dies

Becky Campbell-Ladley, BeckyBecky Blogs

Everybody Dies is a character-driven political military megagame based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire and the TV Show Game of Thrones. Set two decades before the events of the show, the reign of the Mad King threatens to tear Westeros apart - but the chaos will also provide great opportunities for those ready to seize them.
