Winter is coming.

And for those starting to plan their long nights in with a puzzle and a jug of wine, Jumbo Games has unveiled a new line of Game of Thrones jigsaws.

Jumbo has secured a pan European deal with HBO global Licensing to produce the new collection of adult puzzles, scheduled to hit shelves this Christmas.

The initial launch will feature a 1,000 piece original jigsaw puzzle arriving this year, followed with three 500 piece puzzle Limited Edition Collector’s Gift Box planned for spring/summer and a further edition for winter 2015.

Gray Richmond, managing director at Jumbo Games, said: “We are thrilled to be working with HBO on this fabulous license and we are looking forward to our first Game of Thrones puzzles to hit shelves.

“Game of Thrones is a massive success and there will be many fans to enjoy them.”

Products will hit retail across 2014 and 2015, with a range of shaped puzzles, playing cards and puzzle assortments.
