Stitched Map of Westeros: String’s Landing

Posted in: Today's Chili

Some mothers are just plain awesome. Take the Mother of Dragons for instance. Also, the mother of redditor lkd10019312 is one such mother. Why? Because she made this amazing stitchwork map of the continent of Westeros from Game of Thrones.

This map is very nicely detailed and very cleverly uses buttons to imitate the animated gear map sequence in the introduction of the show. This awesome map took her five months of work and it was well worth it.

What has your mother done for you lately? Did it take her five months? I thought not. And she calls herself a mother. THIS is what a mother’s love looks like. Awesome work.

Game of Thrones Risk Board Game: World Domination is Coming

Posted in: Today's Chili

This beautiful Game of Thrones version of Risk was created by Fay Helfer. The detail is amazing and the set comes complete with pyrography artwork and a detailed, carved map of Westeros. It was made as a commission for Matt B, who is now the envy of the interwebs.

The surface of the board and the case are apparently made from wood that was hand carved and burned. Westeros was already a beautiful 2D map, but this this game is even more lovely and blows that out of the water. There are also fabric pouches included in the box which hold the game pieces.
