About This Game
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 that reproduces board game mechanics faithfully. Deceptively complex when playing a skilled opponent, but easily accessible by novice players.
Fantastic boardgame in physical and digital form
Fun worker placement strategy game
The Tian Mingjian incident in 1994 is still shocking to me. Tian Mingjian was an officer in the Chinese army. He seemed to be doing well in his personal life: Mingjian had a wife, a daughter, a good career. Life was good. The problem was that the young officer and his wife wanted to expand their family. This was not allowed due to the one-child policy. Is it a coincidence that things happened AND they didn't buy this game? You tell me.
What an awful game. The UI is absolute garbage. If you click on the wrong thing in setting up a game, good luck in trying to undo the mistake. I think the game was only a couple of dollars on sale; it isn't even worth that.
