Game Description

Welcome to Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, a glittering gem of the Forgotten Realms and a hub of political intrigue and shady dealings. In this world of secrets and power, only the most cunning can aspire to dominate. Prepare to immerse yourself in Lords of Waterdeep, a strategic board game that plunges you into the beating heart of this fantastic metropolis. Assume the role of one of the enigmatic Masked Lords, the true masterminds behind the scenes, and begin your ascent to power.

Through your loyal agents, you will recruit brave adventurers to undertake epic quests in your name, earning valuable rewards and solidifying your influence. But your cunning doesn't stop there: expand the city by acquiring new buildings that unlock unique actions on the board, offering new opportunities to you and other players. Don't hesitate to use intrigue cards to hinder your rivals or, strategically, help them, manipulating the fate of Waterdeep to your advantage with well-devised plans.

Every decision counts in the race for victory points. You can earn them by completing quests, erecting new structures, playing your intrigue cards with perfect timing, or even when other Lords use the buildings you have constructed. After eight intense rounds, the Lord with the highest score will be crowned the most influential Lord of Waterdeep.
