About this game

Wizards of the Coast and Playdek present the award-winning Dungeons & Dragons board game Lords of Waterdeep!

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.

Ratings and reviews

Not a bad version of the board game. I just finished playing my second game with friends and I don't think we've run into any issues with the game itself and the way it runs. The UI takes some getting used to but it's okay, it's a complex game. The rating drop is because push notifications do not work, email works okay but isn't preferable and happens so much it started getting sent to spam. Also it's a bit annoying to have to log in every time you open the app, why not just do it automatically?

Absolutely fantastic version of the board game! Works great cross platform (been playing on mobile and Steam). High quality art, music, sound, gameplay works perfectly, the expansions are a must buy. As of Nov 02 2018 the only "problem" (not gameplay related) I have ran into was a bug with achievements and the viewing of past "completed games" counting as another win.

I've had and enjoyed this game for several years, but last few months, it has become literally unwinnable. I have two games, round 8 finished, that if I open them up, I cannot press the final continue button. It will give me a score, but that last button that records the win? Doesn't push, doesn't finish the game. Not sure when or why it broke, but it has, and the latest update hasn't fixed it, nor did uninstalling and reinstalling.
