"The HBO series Game of Thrones, based on George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy epic, is one of the most popular and highly-acclaimed television shows of all time. Both book and TV show are known for their colorful characters, brutal murders, epic battles, vicious backstabbing, and murderous betrayals.

Where did George RR Martin get the inspiration for all of the madness and mayhem that takes place in his fictional universe? The answer lies in the pages of history books, for much of what takes place in Game of Thrones is actually based on people and events from European medieval history…."

An oft told story. Martin has done a lot to stimulate interest in the High Middle Ages particularly Hundred Years War and War of the Roses. Even the television series has some decent battles.

Too bad Cool Mini paid absolutely no attention to history, Martin's books or Game of Thrones when it designed the its goofy Song of Ice and Fire game.
