Game Overview

Welcome to Waterdeep, a city of intrigue and deception where you'll play as one of its enigmatic masked Lords. As you navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, your goal is simple: become the supreme ruler by recruiting adventurers, completing quests, and expanding the city's influence. In each of the 8 rounds, you'll assign your agents to do your bidding, whether it's to recruit new adventurers or construct a new building that will open up new opportunities. But beware - Intrigue cards can aid or hinder your progress, while other players may be plotting against you. As the game unfolds, you'll need to balance short-term gains with long-term strategy to emerge victorious.

In Lords of Waterdeep, the gameplay loop is deceptively simple: recruit adventurers, complete quests, and build structures. But as you delve deeper, you'll discover a rich tapestry of interlocking mechanics that challenge your strategic thinking and test your ability to adapt. What makes this game truly unique is its blend of board-game strategy with the depth and complexity of tabletop RPGs - it's an experience unlike any other in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

So, don your mask, gather your allies, and prepare to outmaneuver your opponents in a city where only the shrewdest Lord will reign supreme.
