Lords of Waterdeep is an award winning strategy board game, set in the Dungeons & Dragons world of Waterdeep. Play as one of the masked Lords of the City of Splendor. Intrigue abounds as you recruit adventurers, via your agents, to quest on your behalf and spread your influence.
Wizards of the Coast and Playdek present the award-winning Dungeons & Dragons board game Lords of Waterdeep!
Welcome to Waterdeep, the City of Splendors! A city run by a secret society of masked Lords who rule with shady back-door dealings and unmatched political power. In Lords of Waterdeep players will play as one of these masked Lords and will need to recruit adventurers to go out and complete quests for them. The more quests they complete, the more control and influence they have over the city.
Players can expand the city by purchasing buildings that will open up new opportunities within the city walls. Intrigue cards can be used to help the player and may also either help or hinder their fellow Lords in their quest to become the supreme ruler of Waterdeep!
Lords of Waterdeep is a turn-based strategy game played in 8 rounds and can be played against AI or with up to 5 human players. Players take turns assigning their agents to do their bidding, whether it is to recruit new adventurers to their tavern or purchase a new building for the city. Points and resources are gained by completing quests, playing Intrigue cards, constructing new buildings or having other players utilize the buildings you have constructed. At the end of the 8 rounds bonus points are awarded and the player with the most points at the end wins the game.

Great game! Pure strategy, no dice rolling here. The cards all have simple explanations for what they do, but figuring out the best way to move forward and making them work together is the best part. And you can't argue with the price!

It's a faithful recreation of a fun board game. The UI works well and everything just works. The tutorials are good and the games against the AI are fun. A good option to play the game with friends who live far away and can't come over to board game night!

I've had this game for at least 6 years. I played it yesterday and somehow it no longer works. Why do you screw around with log ins and the like? Just let me play my game

The physical-to-digital translation: An accurate depiction of the tabletop board game, with excellent UI and user experience to help control the amount of mechanisms all in play. Online play is smooth. The biggest thing I have to remember is to select the button to end my turn, after I've done a whole stack of actions.
The game itself: It's become a classic of worker placement games, with many paths to victory that invariably involve passive aggressively punching your neighbor(s) in the metaphoric junk. If you have the right players it always leads to great moments.

Excellent game. Just the right amount of complexity and tactical decisions which a troglodyte could discern and flavor all about. An incredibly fun game for anyone!

Simple and fun :) nice digital version of the actual board game

Really great digital version of a really fun board game. I found myself missing Dune's simple combat mechanic, as this one is a very similar game but focused more on quest management. But it plays great, and the D&D theme is going to have a broad appeal over Dune (though I'm NOT a Dune fan, and I still prefer that game to this by a hair). Definitely worth the asking price!

Fun game. I think it is better in person with friends but when they can't play it is always a fun game on the computer to just see how good you can do.
