Focus Home Interactive announces they are publishing A Game of Thrones: Genesis, a new strategy game by Cyanide Studio (Pro Cycling Manager, Blood Bowl), based on George R.R.

Accompanied by a couple of pieces of panoramic artwork, the announcement says the game will require you to "match your political prowess with your strategic and military skills." Here's more:

"A Game of Thrones: Genesis" plunges you into the heart of the battles and intrigues between the Families that shaped the Kingdom of Westeros. However, victory does not necessarily result from brute force. The innovative game mechanics provide players with numerous paths to success: will you opt for a military, economic or diplomatic approach? Trickery, treachery and deceit are widespread and you will constantly have to watch your back if you want to avoid a bitter defeat! Peacefully or forcefully annex surrounding territories, besiege enemy castles, send spies to infiltrate behind enemy lines, assassinate trouble-making officers or capture them to ask for a ransom... When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground!
