It’s Monopoly like you’ve never seen it — straight outta Westeros. Instead of houses and hotels, there are holdfasts and castles. Each square is a location from the show, and the game even features a miniature iron throne card holder that plays the theme song. Just call it (Board) Game of Thrones.

If you like spending your Sundays with the undead, liven up your game night with the board game version of the show (which, by the way, is the most watched cable drama in history). Start out as a survivor and hang on for as long as you can, collecting supplies and making it safely back to camp — and if your character doesn’t make it, you come back as a Walker!

If anybody’s ever given you crap for the amount of hours you spend watching your favorite shows, you can proudly tell them you’re switching it up. Sort of.
