Who should end up on the Throne? We've got some ideas.


One of the most lasting catchphrases from Game of Thrones is the line from which the show gets its title: “when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.” It’s a Cersei Lannister classic, said in the context of King Robert’s death and the show’s first true moment of political upheaval.
