The GoT board game is very good. Tons better than Risk etc. Really awesome game, poker players should enjoy it.

That game looks dangerously close to Axis and Allies or "How to lose all your friends in one boring afternoon"
Also much better than A&A imo but there will be backstabbing and broken deals etc. But comeonson it's GoT
[I'm a huge board game fanatic, partly because developing AIs of all sorts is my job.]
Edit:
Other non-crappy TV related board games and my views:
Firefly: Solid but not great, but it's a ton of fun if you love the show. You fly around and pick up and deliver stuff (contraband etc.) and go on missions.
Battle Star Galactica: Very fun coop game (players win as a team). However...one+ guys will be traitors. For POGers and the like it's very WWy. That being said you kind of burn out on it (+ think there's an optimal strategy that makes the game less fun).
Sons of Anarchy (supposed to be released this year): Looks good at first glance
[Most TV/Movie themed games are crap though. LOTR has a couple cool games as does Star Wars...most others suck]

Also, computer AI at A&A is ridiculously terrible. They are the equivalent of a 800 Chess player.
Mmmmmm...too many other games I enjoy more for now, sorry
BUT you should pick up GoT 2nd edition for sure imo
