From the Manufacturer

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. Lords of Waterdeep is 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.

    An Essential Worker Placement Game for Every Board-Gamer

    An Essential Worker Placement Game for Every Board-Gamer
    --Gameplay--It's a Euro style board game where you're one of the eleven lords of Waterdeep and vying for the control of the city. Each player have their own agent pool and on their turn they place one agent at a time on specific spots on the game board to gain some resources, complete quest, play intrigue cards or own buildings. The player with maximum victory points at the end of the game wins the game.Good+ Excellent worker placement game. This was our first Worker placement game and we simply loved it right from beginning.+ The game was easy to understand, very intuitive and very engaging. We watched a short video on youtube and started straight away.+ The game uses the same setup for 2-5 players, just the number of agents in the pool differ. So there's no sorting through tiles/cards to setup based on number of people.+ Involves a lot of strategy in planning the order and placement of your agents based on what resources you need and also what to block for your opponent ;)+ It's equally fun with 2, 3, 4 or 5 players. People who are looking to purchase this to play with their spouse/partner need not worry. It plays well with 2 player too.+ Highly replayable. It has been a few months since we purchased this and we play this game couple of times every week, sometimes even more.Bad- Not so thematic. The cubes are called Warrior, Cleric, Rogue and Wizard but we never use these names. We simply call them by colors..orange, white, black and purple.- Some of the text/rules on the Intrigue cards is not very clear and we had to look up online for clarification.- Only 11 lord cards. There should've been more with unique powers.--Build Quality--Good+ The box: The given box has multiple sections with good ergonomics to sort and arrange all the pieces.+ Wooden pieces: Build quality is great for wooden cubes and agents.+ Board-cut pieces: The building tiles, victory point tokens, player markers and the money, it's all really cool! The shape and artwork for each of these is unique which I haven't seen in any other board game so far.+ Cards: Quest cards, Intrigue cards and Lord cards are usual shape/size and quality.+ Artwork: Did I say it already? It's AWESOME! On all the board-cut pieces, cards and the game-play board.+ The game map is beautiful and very illustrative.Bad- The box is so precisely built for the exact size of pieces that you'd have to really put some effort in order to fit everything in the box, which can be really tiring at the end of the game!-- Should you buy it? --I'd say it's a MUST/ESSENTIAL buy for anyone who's looking for a gateway to Worker Placement Game. I'd say for many people there's a tie between Lord of Waterdeep and Stone age when it comes to Gateway to WPG, but I prefer this one. After playing this we actually bought Caverna and Architects of Western Kingdom (and never really felt the need to purchase Stone Age). Also this game minimizes the luck effect (no dice rolling).This is also good for getting new friends into board gaming. It's quick to teach and has moderate complexity, so neither too trivial nor overwhelming for new players.Even serious players who've played other WPG and more complex ones, this can be a light go to game when you want to just relax and play a stress-free game. After few initial games, our games are comparatively fast and usually last 60-90 mins.
