Game Of Thrones: 10 Ways Cersei Could Die

Surrounded by enemies on all sides...

As the saying goes, in the Great Game, you either win or you die. The question of who will win is obviously a very pertinent one (though it will be irrelevant as long as the Night King is advancing), but it's fairly safe to assume that there are some characters who definitely can't.

Littlefinger is destined not to win. Bronn probably wouldn't want to. Varys seems likely to fall at some point. And Cersei - the potential Mad Queen herself - is definitely going to have to lose for there to be anything like a happy ending for the show's heroes. It won't ever be as black and white as that, of course, but the general consensus probably says that she is going to die sooner rather than later.

As the Queen so succinctly put it, she is surrounded by enemies, and she's also surrounded by potential killers. Even before the Night King comes to King's Landing (and he very much might get that far), there are far more human characters who could be lining up to see her slain.

So how might it happen?
