Thanks to developer Nerial and game publisher Devolver Digital, fans will soon be able to sit the Iron Throne in the Tinder-inspired strategy game _Reigns: Game of Thrones_. In this spinoff of the original _Reigns_, players can rule Westeros as popular characters like [Jon Snow](http://time.com/5187572/game-of-thrones-emilia-clarke-targaryen-kit-harington-drinking/), Daenerys Targaryen, and Cersei Lannister as they swipe left or right to make decisions that will determine their fate as the king or queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Just as is true in the show, all rulers must die. But the game allows for a variety of outcomes that could only take place in alternate _Thrones_ timelines, such as Sansa Stark marrying Jaime Lannister. _Reigns: Game of Thrones_ will be available in October for $3.99 on iPhones, Android and PC via Steam.
