There was the leak, then the hint, and now the announcement.
There are some games that I play simply because I enjoy them, and there are others that teach lessons.
This is one of them. This is Game of Thrones.
I’ll be playing when it comes out and I’m looking forward to going through it for a third time, this time, teasing out whatever I can.
I’ve referenced Tactics Ogre in the past on topics ranging from military deception (2013), war advice (2014), the permanence of death (2014), and proxy wars (2021).
Off the top of my head, there’s room to explore irregular warfare, great power competition, propaganda, rumors, loyalty, military careerism, and more.
This one goes deep.
There’s so much more to pull – and I’m excited to get the chance. Look for more this November.
