It’s time to throw a House of the Dragon party! With the release of the prequel series House of the Dragon, there’s a good reason again to raise your goblet of fine Dornish wine.

Fantasy and sci-fi fanatics are torn between new shows for Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, as well as a long list of new and upcoming Marvel shows. It’s truly a battle of the streaming services, especially regarding House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power, which competed weekly in the fall of 2022.

Whether you’re watching Game of Thrones for the first time, revisiting the ups and downs, or checking out House of the Dragon, we have a drinking game for you. Save our game and follow our party tips below.

First, Get Your Game of Thrones Names and Family Lines Right

Get your names and family lineages straight before you get too far into the cocktails.

House of the Dragon begins approximately 200 years before the start of Game of Thrones. It follows the Targaryen rulers, who aren’t afraid to mix bloodlines or reuse the same name.

House of the Dragon Family Tree

If you struggled to keep up with Game of Thrones names and family houses, the new House of the Dragon show presents more difficulties. The show introduces a few new houses, in addition to a long list of similar Targaryen names.
