Author’s Note
- Lords of Waterdeep is one of my favorite board games! I have found it to be a really fun, somewhat strategic, and exciting game.
- I initially was turned off by it because it’s labeled as "A Dungeons & Dragons Board Game." For those who also do not care about D&D, know that this is a standalone game and prior knowledge of D&D is not needed. (My knowledge of D&D is limited to the Stranger Things TV show, which is to say it is almost nil.)

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.
Enjoy!
