'Game of Thrones' Collector's Edition Game now available in stores

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With a wait of nearly a year before 'Game of Thrones' fans can satiate their addiction with new episodes (Season 6 premieres in April 2016), Westeros withdrawal is sure to set in at some point.

Thanks to USAopoly, Hasbro and HBO, 'Game of Thrones' fans can experience the battles and spoils of the Lanister, Stark, Targaryen and Baratheon families in a board game format. MONOPOLY: Game of Thrones Collector's Edition Game is now available at game and toy stores, and through store.hbo.com.

With the exception of the four corner panels (GO, Jail, Free Parking and Go to Jail), the entire board has been redesigned to reflect all things Westeros. The Chance and Community Chest cards are now 'Valar Morghulis' and 'The Iron Throne' cards. The money features the symbols of Essos and Westeros.

The classic Monopoly game tokens have been replaced with zinc-cast replicas of a White Walker, a Dragon Egg, a Three-Eyed Raven, The Iron Throne, a Crown and a Direwolf. Houses and hotels are Custom Villages and Keeps.

The Monopoly: Game of Thrones Collector's Edition Game is the latest in an ever-growing catalog of 'GoT' keepsakes.

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's online page for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3 indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year.
