Cersei wants to retain her spot on the Iron Throne, and will do anything in her power to do so. Naturally, everyone at the meetup has their own pressing issues. The rightful heirs to the throne, the pleasant eternal summer that certainly isn’t coming to an end, the Cleganes’ burning hatred for each other, the fact that dragons are very much real and standing before them, and the monstrous zombies and liches who are about to take over the North. Jon, Cersei, Daenerys, Jaime, Tyrion, the Hound, the Mountain, and Brianne all finally meet up in King’s Landing to discuss the important things in life. Unlike in the seasons before it, season 7 of Game of Thrones ended with basically every major character in one city - and more or less in one empty courtyard. Players will get an additional 30 points if their draftees end the show as a queen or king - which will stack with “promotion” points for characters who aren’t already rulers, and “take the Iron Throne” points if someone clearly comes out as the ruler of Westeros.īut who’s actually available to take the Throne? Let’s look back at who’s still around from last season.Ĭersei and Jamie in Game of Thrones’ season seven finale. That may not seem like much, but let’s be honest: in Game of Thrones, it’s a big deal if you show up to a wedding and leave with nothing worse than the beginning of a nasty hangover.
Players will get 20 points for every character in their league who survives the show.

Lastly, we’re adding new point categories for the series finale. And we all expect Bran to have prophetic visions, but don’t necessarily want him to win the Game of Game of Thrones just for going on a six-scene vision quest. We’re also adding points caps in some categories this year, to avoid situations like “Beric Dondarrion set his fancy magic sword on fire 12 times this episode, and made a billion points just for doing the same thing over and over.” That’s meant to reflect that it’s a big deal if Tyrion gets to ride a dragon, but not if Dany rides one in every scene. If Jaime is revealed as Azor Ahai, though, he’s going to clean up - we’ve added a new category for that one, since it’s one of the biggest remaining mysteries (and one of the biggest fan-debate points) on the show. And in the spirit of honesty and fairness, I vow to not just make that moment “Jaime showed up!” week after week. Essentially, I’m going to choose my favorite moment that involved a character, and if they’re on your team, you’ll get an additional 20 points. Think of this as the Emily Yoshida Memorial Wow That Character Had The Best Outfit Award. We’re bringing back the editor’s choice award, for MVP of a given episode, which can be awarded for any damn reason I want. That may only grow this season, as the White Walkers invade the North and the true battle for Queendom begins.
Last season saw the birth, and the quick deaths, of some alliances between unlikely parties. An additional 15 points will also be given to characters who join or form an alliance. I suspect we’ll see a lot of that this season. If it turns out to be a fake double cross - imagine if Benedict Arnold was just like, “Psyche!” - than you get double the points, one for the original betrayal, and one for the double-double-cross. Players will now get 15 points if their character performs an act of betrayal. Here’s a rundown on some rules in effect for this year’s Game of Game of Thrones. (Please note that I don’t stan their relationship.) There’s also a soft spot in my heart for Tyrion, so basically all you need to know about me is that I love the Lannisters and I loved the Malfoys before them, so evil attractive blonde people are kind of my jam. I stan Jaime Lannister (sorry, Jon Snow), but I also stan his sister, Cersei. I used to help run Game of Thrones coverage at Polygon, The Verge’s sister site, and home to many Game of Thrones devotees. I’m Julia, The Verge’s resident YouTube-obsessed reporter.
