Waterdeep, the City of Splendors – the most resplendent jewel in the Forgotten Realms, and a den of political intrigue and shady back-alley dealings. In this game, the players are powerful lords vying for control of this great city. Its treasures and resources are ripe for the taking, and that which cannot be gained through trickery and negotiation must be taken by force!
In Lords of Waterdeep, a strategy board game for 2-5 players, you take on the role of one of the masked Lords of Waterdeep, secret rulers of the city. Through your agents, you recruit adventurers to go on quests on your behalf, earning rewards and increasing your influence over the city. Expand the city by purchasing new buildings that open up new actions on the board, and hinder – or help – the other lords by playing Intrigue cards to enact your carefully laid plans.
During the course of play, you may gain points or resources through completing quests, constructing buildings, playing intrigue cards or having other players utilize the buildings you have constructed. At the end of 8 rounds of play, the player who has accrued the most points wins the game.This is the game that got me into board gaming.
2012 game that still is ranked 84 on board game geek.
The simplicity of this game makes this my go to for teaching worker placement to someone that has never played before. Despite the simplicity we've had many games where the last few rounds everyone is standing/on the edge of their seat trying to see what options they have available to try and snag the win. If you like this game, I would definitely recommend the expansion Scoundrels of Skullport.
Not over-done, not under-done, just right. A Well designed game which is easy to approach and a rewarding challenge to play.
The first game that got me in to the hobby. Such a great worker placement made better by the expansions and still in my collection!
A fun game that can swing widely. you might think you're loosing then score quickly and catch up. Lots of different ways to play, do you want to go first or last and observe. Fun game for larger groups, up to five players.
Got me into euro games this one did. I still play it. Should be in everyone's collection.
